2013 Honda NC 700 SA-D 0.7L Petrol · MJ13 AEF

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 1 June 2026 at 32,340 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend has improved significantly over time, moving from mechanical and wear issues in earlier years to clean sheets in the last three annual tests. This progression suggests that the current owner has addressed previous concerns and is maintaining the motorcycle to a high standard. The mileage profile is notably low for a 13-year-old machine, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per year. There is a visible five-year gap between the 2019 test at 24,511 miles and the 2024 test at 26,676 miles, during which time the vehicle covered only 2,165 miles. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of standing can lead to degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown, which explains the uneven tyre wear and corrosion noted in the older records. A physical inspection should focus on the recurring wear issues noted in 2018 and 2019. The record flagged pitted rear brake discs and a bent front lever, so the buyer must verify that the current braking system is responsive and that the controls are free of structural stress. Given the low annual mileage and history of oddly shaped tyres, check the rubber for flat spots or cracking due to age rather than just tread depth. Inspect the suspension seals and any exposed metal for corrosion that may result from the long periods of inactivity identified between the test dates.
