Our Verdict
A solid option for those seeking a large
When viewing this Honda, your primary focus should be the mechanical condition of the braking system. The most recent MOT in April 2024 noted that the front brake pads were close to the minimum limit, so you should check if these have been replaced since that test.
Beyond the brakes, ensure you verify the service history to confirm oil changes and chain/sprocket maintenance have been performed, as these are vital for large-capacity engines. Given the low mileage, check for any signs of 'age-related' issues such as perished rubber seals or tyres that may have reached the end of their life due to time rather than tread depth.
As a 1099cc petrol motorcycle, fuel economy will be significantly lower than a standard commuter bike, reflecting its cruiser design. Tax and insurance costs will depend on the rider's profile and the specific insurance group, but expect mid-range costs for a bike of this engine capacity.
Maintenance costs for a Honda of this type are generally predictable, though consumables like tyres and brake pads will be more expensive than on smaller capacity models. An estimated annual running cost for this vehicle is approximately £900-£1,200, accounting for fuel, insurance, and routine servicing.
Specifically inspect the front braking components. The 2024 MOT record explicitly flagged the front brake pads as being close to the minimum limit; you must confirm whether this was rectified. Check the thickness of the pads and the condition of the discs for scoring.
Additionally, inspect the tyres for cracks or flat spots, as the low mileage (21,037 miles over 19 years) suggests the bike may have spent significant time stationary. Check all electrical components and fluid levels to ensure the bike has been kept in a usable state despite the low annual mileage.
This 2007 Honda VT 1100 presents with 21,037 miles recorded at its last MOT in April 2024, which is notably low for a vehicle of this age. The MOT history shows only one recorded issue regarding brake wear, with no failures noted in the previous year. As a black 1099cc petrol cruiser, its value proposition lies in its low usage compared to typical heavy motorcycles of this era.
There is no aggregate MOT data available to provide a specific reliability reputation for the Honda VT 1100.
