2001 Honda XL750 0.7L Petrol · DX51 OWW

The 2025‑10‑27 MOT at 18,433 miles was passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable, well‑kept condition. At 25 years old the recorded mileage of 18,433 miles equates to roughly 737 miles per year, a figure that is low for a vehicle of this age. The mileage has risen steadily from 14,663 miles in the 2016 test to 18,433 miles in the 2025 test, a gain of 3,770 miles over nine years or about 418 miles annually, with no abrupt jumps or long periods of inactivity evident in the log. The 2016 test flagged front tyre wear near the legal limit, slight front brake bind and a notchy steering movement, yet every subsequent test through 2025 shows no defects, indicating that any early wear was addressed. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or corrosion, especially at the front and rear mounting points, and verify that the steering rack moves smoothly without notches. The front brake calipers and discs should be examined for binding or uneven wear, and the rear roller brake test should show consistent effort. Look for any signs of previous exhaust repair or lingering corrosion on the chassis and exhaust brackets, and assess tyre tread depth and condition. Finally, check brake pads, discs and the condition of the structural members for rust or damage, as these components are the most likely to reveal hidden wear despite the low mileage.
