2004 Honda VT1100 C2-4 1.1L Petrol · DH53 DDX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean mechanical record over the last three years. The most recent test conducted on 30 May 2025 at 22,025 miles passed with no defects or advisories. This follows a period of consistent clean passes since a minor failure in 2021, indicating that the motorcycle is currently maintained to a standard that prevents immediate mechanical failure or safety risks. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,000 miles per annum. Data shows a gap in testing between September 2021 and February 2023, during which the vehicle covered only 2,375 miles. Since the 2023 test at 17,153 miles, the usage has increased steadily, covering 4,872 miles over the following two years. This low usage suggests the bike has likely spent long periods in storage, which often shifts the concern toward the degradation of rubber-based components rather than mileage-related wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on items associated with low-mileage storage rather than mechanical fatigue. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion or brake failures, long periods of inactivity often lead to perished fuel lines, cracked sidewalls, and seized fork seals. Inspect the tyres for flat spotting and check the brake discs for pitting or surface rust which can occur despite low recorded mileage. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the integrity of the fuel tank and the condition of the cooling system is essential to ensure the low-mileage status has not hidden internal degradation due to age.
