Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a
When inspecting this specific red Honda NSC, verify that the rear stop lamp is fully functional and that the front brake pads have been replaced with quality components, as the 2025 MOT failure specifically highlighted them being near the minimum limit. Because this is a small 108cc engine, ensure the drive chain and sprockets are in good condition, as these are high-wear items on small petrol engines.
Ask the seller for any documentation regarding the work carried out following the December 2025 MOT failure. While the record shows a pass, confirming that the brake pads and lamp were actually renewed provides extra peace of mind. Given the mileage has increased from roughly 15,000 to nearly 35,000 miles in recent years, check that the service intervals have been kept up to date.
Running costs for this 108cc petrol model are expected to be very low. The small engine size suggests high fuel efficiency, making it an economical choice for urban commuting.
Insurance groups for this engine capacity are typically low, and the tax band should be minimal. Maintenance costs are generally predictable, though you should budget for regular consumables like tyres, brake pads, and chain lubrication. The estimated annual running cost is relatively modest due to the vehicle's lightweight and small-capacity nature.
Focus your inspection on the braking system. The MOT history shows a failure in December 2025 regarding front brake pads being close to the minimum limit; check the remaining pad thickness and look for any signs of uneven wear. Also, test the rear stop lamp to ensure the recent failure was fully resolved.
Additionally, check the overall condition of the red paintwork and any exposed metal components for signs of corrosion, which can occur on smaller vehicles kept outdoors. Given the mileage has risen more quickly in the last two years (from 19,559 to 34,796), inspect the tyres for adequate tread depth and check for any signs of recent heavy use.
This 2017 Honda NSC has covered 34,796 miles since its registration in August 2017, which is relatively low for its age. The MOT history is largely clean, with no defects recorded in the three tests between 2022 and 2024. The most recent test in December 2025 resulted in a failure due to brake pads and a stop lamp, but the vehicle passed immediately after these items were addressed.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Honda NSC model.
