2012 Honda NSC110 0.1L Petrol · AV12 PSZ

The 2012 Honda NSC110 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, passing its most recent MOT on 13 April 2026 at 21,983 miles with zero defects recorded. This clean pass, following a period of minor advisories and a single failure in 2023, indicates the previous owner addressed outstanding issues promptly. The trajectory from a failed test in April 2023 to consecutive clean passes in 2024, 2025, and 2026 suggests diligent upkeep in recent years. The mileage pattern reveals exceptionally low use for a machine of this age. Accumulating just 2,029 miles between April 2025 and April 2026, and only 7,148 miles across the three-year span from April 2023 to April 2026, points to sporadic riding or prolonged periods of inactivity. Such low annual mileage, roughly 1,570 miles per year over the vehicle's life, typically limits consumable wear but raises concerns about deterioration from age rather than use, particularly rubber components, seals, and corrosion. The April 2023 failure at 14,831 miles flagged three distinct issues: a front tyre below the 1.0mm tread minimum, a bent rear brake lever, and excessive steering headbearing play. The tyre and lever defects suggest basic maintenance was neglected at that point, while the worn steering headbearing points to either poor lubrication or impact damage. Although these were rectified before the retest the following day, a buyer should still inspect the steering head bearings for notchiness and the rear brake lever for signs of bending or fatigue. The April 2024 advisory for rear tyre cracking at 17,677 miles confirms age-related rubber degradation, a common issue on low-mileage scooters. Prospective buyers should examine all tyre sidewalls, suspension bushes, and brake components for perishing or corrosion, as prolonged standing accelerates these faults regardless of mileage.
