2007 Honda VTX 1300 S-5 1.3L Petrol · CX07 VTK

The 2007 Honda VTX 1300 S-5 holds a clean roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 20 September 2025 at 13,574 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the five available MOT entries is stable with zero advisories or failures. Each annual examination returned a pass, showing the machine has remained mechanically sound under DVSA scrutiny. Recorded mileage sits at 13,574 after roughly nineteen years, an average of about 714 miles per year. The history shows steady low use: 9,426 miles in June 2021, 10,080 by June 2022, 11,754 in July 2023, 12,573 in September 2024, and 13,574 in September 2025. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of neglect, though long standing periods implied by such low annual coverage can allow corrosion or perished rubber to develop unseen. A buyer should still inspect the bike in person for age-related issues the MOT does not routinely flag. Check suspension linkage and swingarm bushes for wear from infrequent movement, and examine brake calipers for binding after storage. Look over the exhaust system and frame for structural rust, particularly around the steering head and rear subframe. Confirm the tyres and coolant hoses are not aged beyond safe service life despite low miles. The absence of advisories suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but physical inspection remains essential on a nineteen-year-old machine with this usage profile.
