2005 Honda ST1300 1.3L Petrol · LS05 FMD

The vehicle has maintained a consistent roadworthiness record over the past four years, with all MOT tests passing without defects. The most recent test on 2024-09-12 at 27,831 miles confirmed this stability. No mechanical or structural issues were recorded in any of the five consecutive annual tests, indicating that the previous owner prioritized regular maintenance and adherence to safety standards. This pattern suggests the vehicle has been well cared for, with no signs of deterioration or recurring faults. The mileage of 27,831 miles over 21 years equates to an average of just under 1,325 miles per year. This low usage rate implies the vehicle may have seen minimal active use, potentially leading to periods of inactivity. Notably, the gap between the 2020-08-10 test at 26,557 miles and the 2021-08-09 test at 27,121 miles shows a small increase of 564 miles over one year, followed by a more gradual rise in subsequent years. The MOT history is clean, with no advisories or failures, which supports the conclusion of consistent maintenance. A buyer should conduct a thorough visual inspection of the chassis and underbody for signs of corrosion, particularly around the frame rails and suspension components, as long-term inactivity can lead to rust. Checking the condition of the tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes would also be prudent, as these are common wear items. The absence of any recorded issues in the MOT history is positive, but physical inspection remains essential to confirm the vehicle’s true mechanical state.
