2012 Honda NC 700 XA-C 0.7L Petrol · NL12 OCJ

This vehicle is in a stable state of roadworthiness with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 18 July 2025 at 9,714 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to September 2020, indicating a vehicle that has consistently met the minimum legal safety and environmental standards without requiring remedial work between tests. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 14 year old motorcycle, averaging roughly 694 miles per year. The odometer increased by only 548 miles between the July 2024 test at 9,166 miles and the July 2025 test. Such low usage suggests the bike has spent significant periods stationary. While the lack of mechanical wear is positive, long intervals of inactivity can lead to specific degradation not always captured in a standard MOT. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by stagnation rather than wear. Check for perished rubber seals, cracked tyres, and potential corrosion on the brake discs or calipers due to lack of use. The absence of any recorded advisories regarding suspension bushes or brake efficiency is encouraging, but the low mileage makes a thorough check of the fluid conditions and battery health essential. Verify the date of the last oil change and coolant flush. Because the MOT record shows no failures or advisories across five tests, there are no recurring mechanical faults to flag. The primary risk here is not structural failure or mechanical neglect, but the typical deterioration associated with a vehicle that is under-utilised.
