2012 Honda NC 700 D-C 0.7L Petrol · LC62 HSX

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection. In the February 2022 test at a mileage of 24,028 miles, the motorcycle passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance history up to that point, though the lack of subsequent testing data prevents an assessment of the vehicle's current mechanical state. The recorded mileage is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,716 miles per year. There is a significant gap of over four years between the 2022 MOT and the current date, suggesting the bike has sat stationary for long periods or used infrequently. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often invites degradation of rubber-based components and fluid-related issues that are not always captured in a standard MOT test. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of components affected by long-term storage. Check for flat spots on the tyres, perished brake hoses, and seized brake calipers which frequently occur when a vehicle is not used regularly. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and examine the fork seals for signs of oil leakage. Given the time elapsed since the last recorded test in 2022, a thorough check of the fuel system and fluid integrity is essential to ensure the motorcycle remains reliable for road use.
