Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for those seekin
Given the exceptionally low mileage for a 13-year-old motorcycle, focus your attention on components that degrade with age rather than wear. Check the service history to see if oil changes were performed on a time-based schedule rather than a mileage-based one, as the V4 engine requires regular lubrication regardless of distance travelled.
Verify the age of the tyres; the recent valve stem failure suggests that rubber components may be reaching the end of their natural lifespan. Negotiate based on the potential need for a full recommissioning service, including the replacement of brake fluid and coolant, which degrade over time even when the vehicle is stationary.
The 782cc engine provides touring capability with moderate fuel consumption. Running costs will be typical for a mid-to-large capacity petrol motorcycle, with insurance groups reflecting its status as a touring bike.
Maintenance costs for this model typically include periodic valve clearance checks. Due to the very low annual mileage, the primary expenses will be fixed costs such as road tax and insurance, with estimated annual running costs remaining relatively low.
Carefully inspect the wheels and tyres, specifically referencing the June 2026 MOT failure where both front and rear valve stems were found to be seriously damaged. Check for any signs of perishing, cracking, or 'flat-spotting' in the tyre rubber, which is common in vehicles that sit for long periods.
Check the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the battery is holding a charge, as low-usage motorcycles are prone to battery failure. Ensure all lights and electrical systems are functioning, as inactivity can lead to oxidation in connectors.
This silver 2013 Honda VFR 800 X-C has covered just 9,503 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average. Its MOT history is predominantly clean, with the only recorded failure occurring in June 2026. The vehicle's low usage suggests it has been used sparingly since its first registration in January 2013.
The VFR 800 X-C has a respectable reliability reputation, with aggregate data showing an 86.8% MOT pass rate across analysed vehicles.
