2021 Honda CRF 1100 A4-M 1.1L Petrol · LB71 BXL

A clean two-test MOT history on this 2021 Honda CRF 1100 A4-M presents a roadworthiness profile with no advisories or failures recorded across either examination. The most recent test on 6 November 2025 returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior assessment on 7 November 2024 was similarly clean, indicating a stable and unremarkable pattern of compliance with statutory safety and emissions requirements. With only two MOT entries on file, the dataset is necessarily limited — motorcycles first become MOT-testable at three years of age, so the record only begins to build from late 2024 — but within what is currently available, there is no documented wear pattern, corrosion concern, or component defect to flag. Against an age of roughly five years, the recorded 13,466 miles equates to an annual accumulation of approximately 2,693 miles, which is low for the model. This rate of use is consistent with a machine that has either covered modest commuting distances, been used seasonally, or experienced extended periods off the road between rides. Low annual mileage on a motorcycle of this type means that brake disc and pad wear is likely to be minimal, chain and sprocket service intervals are stretched, and tyre life is influenced more by age-related rubber degradation than by tread wear. Conversely, prolonged standing periods can bring their own considerations, including the condition of any fluids that may have sat undisturbed and the general state of rubber components, hoses, and electrical connections. For a prospective buyer, the absence of any recorded advisories means there are no specific components from the MOT history to investigate directly; instead, attention should focus on confirming that the clean paper record is matched by the physical condition of the machine. On a test ride, listen for any unusual mechanical noises from the engine and transmission at both idle and under load, check that the throttle response is smooth without hesitation or sticking, and verify that the clutch engages cleanly without judder or slip. Inspect the chain and sprockets for proper tension and any hooked or missing sprocket teeth, examine the brake discs for scoring or corrosion around the outer edge, and check brake lever feel for sponginess or excessive travel. Because of the low mileage, confirm that the tyres — particularly the rear — are not hardened or cracked from age, and confirm that all electrical systems, instruments, and lights operate correctly. Given the limited MOT history on file, a pre-purchase inspection by a competent motorcycle technician remains advisable. The clean DVSA record establishes only that the machine met the minimum statutory standards at the time of its last two tests; it does not constitute evidence of mechanical condition beyond those specific examinations. A physical inspection, fluid analysis, and compression test would provide a fuller picture of the engine, suspension, and braking components, particularly given the low annual mileage which can mask component ageing behind an outwardly tidy presentation.
