2018 Honda SH 0.1L Petrol · LN68 VMC

This 2018 Honda SH has covered 80,326 miles, averaging roughly 10,000 miles per year. While this is typical for the age, the MOT history suggests a pattern of heavy use or poor maintenance rather than a well-cared-for machine. The vehicle’s condition trend is concerning. Recurring faults indicate that the owner frequently ignores mechanical warnings until they become MOT failures. You should be particularly wary of the persistent steering head bearing play, which has appeared on three consecutive MOTs. This suggests the issue was never properly rectified, only managed to pass the test, and could now lead to significant repair costs or dangerous handling characteristics. The history shows a consistent theme of neglect regarding basic safety components. Previous records include insecure fairings, loose seats, and issues with brake levers and indicators. The most recent MOT in 2025 flagged play in the front wheel bearing and brake effort fluctuations, indicating that the running gear is now showing signs of significant wear consistent with the high mileage. The jump in mileage between 2023 and 2025—nearly 40,000 miles in two years—confirms this bike has been used extensively.
