2011 Honda NT 700 VA-A 0.7L Petrol · FE11 BXD

This Honda NT700 has covered a very low average of approximately 1,459 miles per year over its 15-year lifespan. While this suggests the motorcycle has seen light usage, such low mileage can sometimes indicate that the machine has spent significant periods sitting idle, which can lead to issues with fuel degradation, seized components, or perished rubber seals that do not always appear on an MOT certificate. The MOT history is remarkably clean, showing a consistent record of passed tests with no major failures or dangerous defects recorded over the last five years. The vehicle appears to have been well-maintained, as the inspector has only noted minor advisories in the most recent two years. The recurring advisory regarding front brake pads being close to the minimum limit in both 2024 and 2025 suggests that the braking system is reaching a point where maintenance is required. Because the mileage increased by only 192 miles between these two inspections, it is possible that the pads are either being left to wear down slowly or that the braking surfaces have suffered from corrosion due to the bike standing for long periods. The overall condition trend is stable and positive, as there are no signs of worsening mechanical issues or structural defects. The lack of recurring advisories for suspension, steering, or lighting indicates that the bike has been kept in good operational order. When inspecting this motorcycle in person, you should first prioritise a thorough check of the braking system, specifically looking for signs of pitting on the discs or seized pistons in the calipers, as the recurring pad advisories could point to neglected maintenance. You should also check the condition of the tyres for signs of age-related cracking or hardening, as the low mileage suggests the rubber may be quite old regardless of the tread depth.
