2005 Honda ST1300 A 1.3L Petrol · RL05 AXE

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2022‑06‑04 at 71,977 miles with no defects recorded, confirming it was roadworthy at that point. The maintenance trend is stable; no failures or advisories appear in the final five years of the record, though the absence of any test after 2022 creates a four‑year gap that deviates from the expected annual MOT schedule. Mileage accumulation shows a low rate for a 21‑year‑old car: roughly 3,430 miles per year. The progression from 63,920 miles in June 2018 to 71,977 miles in June 2022 indicates modest, steady growth. The record ends in 2022, leaving a four‑year interval without MOT data, which may reflect prolonged storage or irregular use rather than regular annual testing. A buyer should inspect the headlamp dipped beam to ensure it illuminates correctly, given the 2013 failure. Tyre tread depth must meet the 1.6 mm legal minimum, especially the front tyre that was noted close to the limit in 2017 and the rear tyre flagged in 2011. Brake condition warrants close attention: verify pad thickness exceeds 1.5 mm and that rear brake discs are free from pitting, a issue noted in 2008. The exhaust should be examined for corrosion or deterioration, as it was reported slightly deteriorated in 2008. Finally, check suspension bushes, mounting points, and the underbody for rust or corrosion, given the vehicle’s age and the earlier brake disc pitting.
