2017 Honda VFR 1.2L Petrol · NA17 ABV

The vehicle maintains a stable level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 10 May 2025 at 3,297 miles returned no defects or advisories, mirroring the results of the previous four inspections. This flawless record suggests the motorcycle has been maintained in a condition that avoids immediate mechanical failure or structural degradation during the recorded testing periods. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old machine, averaging approximately 366 miles per year. There is a significant gap between the April 2020 test and the October 2022 test, during which the vehicle covered only 874 miles over two years. Since 2022, usage has increased slightly, covering 2,423 miles in the interval between the 2022 and 2025 tests. While this low mileage indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine, it also suggests the vehicle spends long periods stationary, which can introduce specific preservation issues. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of components affected by low use rather than mechanical wear. Check for flat-spotting or cracking on tyres and brake lines, as rubber degrades regardless of distance traveled. Inspect the brake calipers for seized pistons and the discs for surface corrosion which often occurs when brakes are infrequently used. Additionally, verify the fuel system for degradation and check the suspension seals for drying, as long-term standing can lead to perished internal seals that a standard MOT test would not detect.
