Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to a mileage di
The primary priority for a buyer is to resolve the mileage discrepancy. You should request original service stamps and invoices to verify the actual mileage, as the MOT record shows a decrease of 640 miles between April 2025 and March 2026. This could be a clerical error, but it must be confirmed before purchase.
Given the low total mileage for a 23-year-old motorcycle, check for signs of long-term storage. Look for perished rubber components, dried-out seals, and ensure the fuel system has been maintained. Verify that the registration plate has been corrected to meet the legal requirements following the March 2026 failure.
With a 644cc petrol engine, this Honda is expected to offer moderate fuel economy suitable for a mid-sized twin. Insurance costs should be relatively low given the engine size and age of the model, though this will depend on the rider's profile.
Maintenance costs for this era of Honda are typically manageable, provided parts remain readily available. Based on the low usage seen in the MOT history, the estimated annual running cost is likely to be on the lower end of the spectrum.
Pay close attention to the braking system; the MOT record from April 2025 specifically noted front brake binding. Ensure the calipers are moving freely and the discs are in good condition. Inspect the registration plate to ensure it now conforms to UK specifications following the failure on 14 March 2026.
General inspection should include a check of the tires for age-related cracking (perishing) rather than just tread depth, as low-mileage older bikes often have old rubber. Check all fluid levels and look for leaks around the engine gaskets.
This black 2003 Honda NX650 presents as a low-mileage example, though the data shows a recording anomaly where mileage dropped from 19,450 in 2025 to 18,810 in 2026. The MOT history includes a recent failure for a non-conforming registration plate and a previous advisory regarding front brake binding. Aside from these points, the vehicle has passed most of its recent tests without major defects.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Honda NX650 model.
