2015 Honda NC 0.7L Petrol · LF65 AEG

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, but the maintenance trend shows a shift from previously clean records to emerging mechanical wear. The most recent test in April 2026 at 36,526 miles introduced several technical advisories that were not present in previous years. While the vehicle passed, the appearance of worn brake components, a loose wheel bearing, and a loose drive chain indicates that components are beginning to show signs of age-related degradation despite the low total distance travelled. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,300 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between 2018 and 2020 where the bike covered only 351 miles in over two years. Since 2020, the usage has become more consistent, averaging roughly 5,000 to 6,000 miles annually. This low-use pattern often leads to dried rubber components and seized seals, which may align with the recent reports of a stiff steering head bearing. A buyer should inspect the front braking system specifically, as the offside front lever has been flagged as bent in both 2024 and 2026, and the discs are now showing measurable wear. The rear wheel bearing requires a physical check to ensure the reported slight play does not progress into a mechanical failure. Additionally, the drive chain needs close examination for tension and sprocket wear, as the tester flagged it as loose in the latest inspection. The steering head should also be tested for smoothness to ensure the notchiness noted in 2024 has been addressed or requires replacement.
