2002 Honda ST1100 1.1L Petrol · CV52 LLZ

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 18 February 2026 at 48,724 miles recorded no defects or advisories, maintaining a stable trend of maintenance over the last five years. This suggests that the mechanical and safety components have remained within operational parameters without the recurring failures often seen in older touring motorcycles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old machine, averaging approximately 2,030 miles per year. Between February 2022 and February 2026, the vehicle covered only 1,070 miles, indicating very infrequent use or long periods of storage. Such low accumulation typically means minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain, engine internals, and braking assemblies. While this reduces the risk of friction-related failure, it often introduces risks related to age-related degradation that stationary MOT tests may not fully capture. Given the lack of recorded advisories, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage storage rather than wear. Check for cracking in rubber hoses, fuel lines, and fork seals, which can perish over time regardless of distance. The braking system requires close scrutiny for seized calipers or surface corrosion on the discs due to lack of regular use. Additionally, inspect the structural integrity of the frame and swingarm for corrosion, as the low mileage does not prevent environmental rust if the bike has been stored in a damp environment.
