2008 Honda ST 1300 A-6 1.3L Petrol · SW57 CTE

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 14 April 2026 at 25,706 miles recorded no defects, maintaining a perfectly stable maintenance trend over the last five years. This consistency suggests that the mechanical and structural components inspected during the MOT process are operating within expected parameters without any recurring advisory warnings. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,428 miles per year. Between April 2022 and April 2026, the vehicle covered only 2,587 miles, indicating a very infrequent use of roughly 650 miles annually. While this low usage typically reduces wear and tear on the drivetrain, engine, and brake components, the long periods of standing can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components that are not fully captured by mileage-based wear assessments. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer must focus the physical inspection on components susceptible to low-mileage storage. Check the tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spotting, as the rubber hardens over time regardless of tread depth. The brake system should be checked for seized calipers or perished fluid lines due to the lack of frequent cycling. Additionally, inspect the front fork seals and suspension bushes for signs of drying or cracking, which often occur when a vehicle remains stationary for extended durations.
