2003 Honda ST1300 1.3L Petrol · EN03 OWW

The 28 August 2025 MOT at 44,287 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle remains roadworthy at the time of testing. The maintenance trend has been stable since the 2020 failure; each subsequent annual test from 2021 through 2025 has produced a pass, with only minor tyre and brake wear noted at the most recent inspection. The recorded mileage of 44,287 at an age of 23 years translates to an average annual usage of roughly 1,926 miles, which is low for a vehicle of this vintage and suggests periods of limited use or extended standing. Mileage increments between tests have been modest and consistent: 807 miles from 2020 to 2021, 670 miles from 2021 to 2022, 819 miles from 2022 to 2023, 734 miles from 2023 to 2024 and 402 miles from 2024 to 2025, showing no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or irregular usage patterns. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the front and rear tyres for tread depth and any uneven wear that could indicate suspension problems, verify the thickness of the front brake pads and the integrity of the brake discs, and examine the offside and nearside shock absorbers for oil misting or leakage, as flagged in 2019 and 2012. Particular attention should be given to the exhaust mounting for corrosion noted in 2017, the security of the near side handlebar grip from the 2020 failure, and the overall structural integrity of the chassis and suspension bushes, as these components have recurrently required remedial attention.
