2021 Honda NC 750 XA-M 0.7L Petrol · RF21 SFZ

The 2026‑07‑14 MOT at 5,880 miles confirms the 2021 Honda NC 750 XA‑M remains roadworthy, with the tester noting only a slight fluctuation of rear brake effort (1.2.1 (e)) and no other defects. The July 2025 test at 5,477 miles recorded a worn drive chain with a stiff link (6.1.7 (c) (i)) but classified it as not excessive, and the August 2024 test at the same mileage showed no defects. Overall the maintenance record demonstrates a stable condition with no worsening faults. At five years of age the vehicle has accumulated only 5,880 miles, equating to roughly 1,176 miles per year, indicating light usage or extended periods of inactivity. Mileage rose by just 403 miles between the July 2025 and July 2026 tests, a modest increase that aligns with the low annual average and suggests the odometer has not been rapidly incremented. The three MOT entries are spaced a year apart, providing a clear, uncluttered picture of the car's usage. A buyer should therefore focus on the rear brake assembly, checking for binding calipers, uneven pad wear and disc condition, as the previous test flagged only effort fluctuation. Inspection of the drive chain and sprockets is advisable, verifying that the previously noted stiff link has not progressed to excessive wear or premature stretching. The suspension components — bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers — should be examined for corrosion, cracking or binding, while the chassis and wheel arches must be assessed for structural rust that could compromise integrity. Finally, the condition of the tyres, brake discs and exhaust system should be confirmed, as low mileage does not guarantee absence of uneven wear or corrosion.
