2008 Honda ST 1300 A-8 1.3L Petrol · LX58 VME

The vehicle presents an excellent roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a stable and clean maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 33,516 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, maintaining a streak of clean passes spanning the last five years. This consistency suggests that the motorcycle has been maintained to a high standard and that the mechanical and structural components are currently operating within expected parameters without failure. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,862 miles per year. Between October 2022 and October 2024, the vehicle covered only 6,886 miles, indicating very light usage. A more recent increase of 4,890 miles occurred between the 2024 and September 2025 tests. While the low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, the two-year gap between the 2020 and 2022 tests suggests the bike sat stationary for extended periods, which often leads to different degradation issues than high-mileage. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must perform a physical inspection for issues associated with low-mileage, long-term storage. Prioritize a check for perished rubber components, specifically brake lines and fork seals, which can crack over time regardless of distance traveled. Inspect the brake calipers for pitting or seized pistons, as infrequent use can allow fluid deposits to build up internally. Additionally, verify the tyres for flat spots or age-related sidewall cracking and check for corrosion corrosion where moisture may have collected during periods of inactivity.
