2014 Honda ANC 0.1L Petrol · LF64 MTY

A consistent pattern of clean MOT passes defines this 2014 Honda ANC's roadworthiness record, with the most recent test on 22 December 2025 returning a pass and no advisories or defects recorded. Across all four documented examinations spanning late 2021 to late 2025, the vehicle has never failed and has only accumulated three minor advisories in total, suggesting structurally sound bodywork, compliant emissions, and well-maintained safety-critical systems. The few items flagged are isolated and relatively benign, reinforcing an overall impression of solid mechanical condition for a motorcycle of this age. The recorded mileage of 15,229 miles over approximately twelve years equates to a usage rate of roughly 1,269 miles annually, which is notably low and indicates either limited riding or extended periods off the road. The MOT history shows consistent annual testing from December 2021 through to December 2025, suggesting the vehicle has been kept on the road and inspected regularly, which mitigates some of the concerns typically associated with low-mileage machines. However, the small annual mileage accumulation means components such as the drive chain, brake pads, tyres, and fluid seals may have aged more from environmental exposure and infrequent use than from mechanical wear, even if the odometer reading remains modest. The advisory recorded at the January 2025 test noted a slightly stiff or notchy central front steering headbearing, though the examiner classed it as not excessive at that point. On a test drive, the buyer should pay particular attention to steering feel through the full lock-to-lock range, listening for any grinding, clicking, or notchiness that has progressed since the advisory was issued, and checking for any hesitation or uneven resistance that could indicate bearing deterioration. Given the low annual mileage, this component is more likely to have suffered from corrosion or dried-out lubrication than from mechanical wear, so a physical inspection of the steering headrace for smooth operation and freedom of movement is worthwhile. The remaining advisories relate to minor cosmetic and valve-related items, including a slightly damaged rear valve stem noted in January 2023, and deterioration and slight looseness of the rear registration plate flagged in December 2021. The valve stem advisory is the most mechanically relevant of these, as a damaged valve can lead to gradual tyre deflation; the buyer should check the current condition of the rear tyre, confirm the valve core is intact and seating properly, and verify that pressure has been maintained without frequent top-ups. Apart from these specific points, the absence of any advisories relating to brake components, suspension linkages, exhaust condition, lighting, or structural corrosion points to a machine that has been kept in genuinely good mechanical order, and a standard pre-purchase inspection focusing on the areas historically flagged should provide sufficient reassurance.
