2012 Honda NSC 0.1L Petrol · LC12 NHJ

The 2012 Honda NSC presents a current roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 13 November 2025 at 36,413 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the surrounding test history shows two failed attempts on 11 and 13 November 2025 at identical mileage, both logged with no defects recorded. Such back-to-back failures without noted faults suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than a worsening mechanical condition. Recorded mileage sits at 36,413 miles against an approximate 14-year age, equating to roughly 2,601 miles per year. The vehicle covered just 10,985 miles between the February 2023 test at 24,184 miles and the August 2024 test at 35,119 miles, then added only 1,294 miles to the November 2025 pass at 36,413 miles. This low annual use implies extended standing periods. The DVSA record is sparse and clean, showing no advisories or reported wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion across any entry. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of the brake calipers and discs given the long idle intervals, as seized or corroded components commonly develop on machines left unused. Standing time also promotes perishing of tyres, degraded fork seals, and structural rust on the frame and exhaust, none of which the MOT entries flag but all of which evade a clean test pass if not yet advanced. The absence of recurring faults in the history points to no ongoing mechanical trend requiring corrective action. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic test compliance, though the unexplained November 2025 failures warrant confirmation that the vehicle was properly presented and not subject to unresolved documentation queries before the final pass.
