2004 Honda ST1300 1.3L Petrol · MA04 CSF

A consistent track record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, evidenced by a clean pass on 2026-05-12 and a total absence of defects or advisories across the last seven annual tests. The only recorded issues in the recent history were two advisories in 2019 concerning the front braking system, which have since been cleared from the record, indicating a stable trend in mechanical compliance over the last several years. The recorded mileage of 31,915 miles is low for a twenty-two-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 1,451 miles per year. Such a usage pattern typically results in reduced mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain components, though it increases the likelihood of seal shrinkage or the hardening of rubber components due to prolonged periods of inactivity. Attention should be directed toward the braking system, as the 2019 test flagged a pitted and scored offside front brake disc along with fluctuations in brake effort. Although these items have not appeared on subsequent tests, a test drive should focus on detecting any pedal judder or inconsistent braking force under moderate deceleration to ensure the system is operating smoothly and that the previous defects were fully rectified. Further inspection should focus on the physical condition of the suspension bushes and fork seals, which can degrade regardless of mileage. The buyer should listen for any knocks or clicks during steering inputs and feel for any stiffness in the suspension travel to confirm that the vehicle's low-use history has not led to component seizure or perishing.
