1987 Honda VF750 0.7L Petrol · D960 DAA

The 1987 Honda VF750 presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent DVSA test on 24 April 2025 at 42,022 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken three-year sequence of fault-free results. The maintenance trend shows no deterioration and no recurring advisory items across the available history. Annual mileage sits at roughly 1,077 miles per year against 39 years of age, with the record showing 39,159 miles in April 2023, 40,829 miles in April 2024, and 42,022 miles in April 2025. The yearly increments of 1,670 and 1,193 miles confirm light, consistent use rather than long dormant periods or sudden accumulation. The sparse three-entry history carries no gaps and no failures, which suggests the previous keeper kept basic statutory testing current but the short record limits deeper wear analysis. A buyer should still inspect the machine in person for age-related degradation not captured by a pass. At 39 years old, suspension bushes, fork seals, and brake caliper condition demand hands-on checks even where the tester logged no defect. Standing time implied by low mileage can harden rubber components and cause brake binding unseen on a warm test bay run. Structural integrity around the frame and exhaust mounting points warrants close visual scrutiny for corrosion, as MOT passes on a machine this old do not certify long-term rust resistance. The clean record is reassuring, but the absence of advisories means the buyer carries full responsibility for confirming consumable and mechanical fitness before purchase.
