2020 Honda CRF 1100 A4-L 1.1L Petrol · AT11 GAZ

A single rear‑brake effort fluctuation advisory recorded in February 2023 is the only blemish on an otherwise flawless MOT history, with the most recent test on 31 July 2026 confirming a pass and no further defects. The consistency of clean passes across five consecutive years indicates that, apart from that one brake‑system observation, the vehicle has met the statutory safety and emissions standards without recorded failures. At just 18,922 miles after six years, the bike averages roughly 3,150 miles per annum – well below typical usage for a 2020 model. Such low mileage suggests limited wear on consumables such as tyres, brake pads and chain components, but it may also imply periods of inactivity. Prolonged storage can accelerate ageing of rubber seals, hoses and electrical connections, so a buyer should verify that the suspension bushings, fuel lines and wiring show no signs of cracking or hardening. The rear‑brake advisory noted a slight fluctuation in brake effort (2.5 BAR run‑out). On a test ride, the rider should feel for any sponginess or inconsistency when applying the rear brake, listen for squeal or grinding that could indicate worn pads or a glazed surface, and inspect the rear disc for uneven wear or scoring. A visual check of the brake fluid level and condition is prudent, and the rear caliper pistons and hose should be examined for leaks or corrosion that could cause the recorded run‑out. Beyond the brake system, a thorough pre‑purchase inspection should confirm the integrity of the chassis, especially the rear subframe and swing‑arm welds, and assess the condition of the suspension components for any play or cracked bushes. Given the low mileage, the engine and transmission are likely to be in good shape, but a compression check and a review of oil condition will rule out any hidden internal wear. Verifying tyre tread depth, tyre age, and the state of the battery will complete the assessment before committing to purchase.
