2017 Honda VFR 1.2L Petrol · EX17 DFD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, as evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 12 February 2026 at 36,394 miles which returned with zero defects. This follows a period of clean passes in the preceding years. The only recorded failure occurred in January 2024 for a non-functional horn, which was rectified immediately, suggesting an owner who is responsive to basic safety-critical faults. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a nine-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 4,044 miles per year. Data shows a gap of 3,142 miles between April 2023 and January 2024, followed by 1,090 miles leading to the February 2025 test and 1,438 miles leading to the February 2026 test. While low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between use can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components and fluids that MOT tests do not fully capture. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components typically affected with low-use, high-age vehicles. Check for flat spots on tyres, perished brake lines, and signs of fluid weeping from fork seals due to extended standing. Given the record shows no structural corrosion or brake advisories, the primary concern remains the age of the brake fluid and the condition of the tyres, which may require replacement despite the low recorded mileage.
