2017 Honda NC 0.7L Petrol · GU67 RYO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. In the most recent test in October 2025 at 17,376 miles, the motorcycle passed with an advisory for a rear tyre worn near the legal limit. This mirrors a finding from the October 2024 test at 16,238 miles, indicating the owner consistently defers tyre replacement until failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,930 miles per year. Between October 2021 and October 2022, the bike covered only 3,092 miles, while the period between 2024 and 2025 saw just 1,138 miles driven. While low mileage reduces general mechanical wear on the drivetrain, long periods of standing often lead to the degradation of rubber components and seized moving parts that are not reflected in mileage alone. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the drive chain and sprocket assembly. The record from the 2022 test at 12,388 miles flagged links starting to seize, a common issue for low-mileage bikes that sit stationary. Additionally, the uneven wear on the front tyre noted during that same period suggests potential alignment issues or a sticking brake caliper that requires verification. Given the recurring advisories for tyre wear, the current condition and age of all rubber compounds should be checked to ensure they have not perished or cracked despite having sufficient tread depth.
