2013 Honda SH 300 A-D 0.3L Petrol · LC13 FDP

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in June 2025 at 37,515 miles passed but introduced several technical advisories regarding wear-related components. The presence of a rear tyre nearing the legal limit, alongside worn front brake discs and a worn offside front brake lever, indicates that consumables are now reaching the end of their functional service life despite the low mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 2,886 miles per year. Between June 2022 and June 2025, the vehicle covered 9,219 miles, suggesting a pattern of very light use or long periods of storage. While this low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components, seals, and fluid chemistry, which often correlates with the wear-related issues noted in the 2025 test. A buyer should focus specifically on the braking system during a physical inspection. The 2024 failure at 34,529 miles revealed multiple electrical faults related to the stop lamps and a rear light that remained illuminated independently, which suggests potential wiring issues or switch failures. Given the 2025 advisory on worn front discs and a worn lever, the brake assembly should be checked for leaks or binding calipers to ensure hydraulic pressure remains consistent. Additionally, the low mileage necessitates a thorough check of the tyres for cracking or dry rot, as these components often fail due to age rather than tread wear.
