1993 Honda NTV650 0.6L Petrol · K776 JRR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 12 September 2024 at 20,382 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that any mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed or have not progressed to a level of concern over the last five testing cycles. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 33-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 618 miles per year. Between September 2021 and September 2024, the vehicle covered only 359 miles, suggesting long periods of storage or very occasional seasonal use. While this low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, such long intervals between use often lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown, which the MOT record does not fully capture. A physical inspection should focus specifically on the light oil misting on the offside front shock absorber noted during the 2019 test at 19,866 miles. Although this did not cause a failure, the buyer should visually inspect the fork seals for signs of active weeping or perished rubber. Given the low mileage and high age, the inspector must also check for corrosion on brake discs, perished tyre sidewalls, and cracking in the fuel lines.
