2016 Honda NC 0.7L Petrol · FN16 SKF

The 2016 Honda NC demonstrates a stable and exemplary maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT on 2026-04-09 at 13,631 miles passing with zero defects. This flawless record mirrors the clean bills of health recorded in 2025, 2024, 2023, and 2022, indicating meticulous upkeep and the complete absence of any recurring mechanical or structural deterioration. The tester flagged no advisories, suggesting the motorcycle has been consistently maintained to a high standard. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a machine of this age, averaging roughly 1,363 miles annually. Between the 2022-02-10 test at 8,539 miles and the 2026-04-09 test at 13,631 miles, the motorcycle covered just over 5,000 miles across four years. The annual increments remain steady, showing no sudden spikes in usage or prolonged periods of total inactivity that typically trigger severe corrosion or component seizure. Such restrained use generally preserves consumables, though extended sitting can degrade rubber components and fluids. Despite the flawless MOT record, a physical inspection must focus on the specific vulnerabilities of a low-mileage vehicle standing for long durations. Examine the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking and flat spots, as tread depth often remains legal while rubber perishes from lack of use. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check that the calipers are not binding due to pad deposition during stationary periods. Assess the suspension bushes and fork seals for deterioration, and verify the condition of the drive chain and sprockets for correct tension and corrosion. A thorough test ride will confirm the engine warms evenly and the transmission shifts smoothly without the hesitation associated with stale fuel.
