2020 Honda CRF 1100 A-L 1.1L Petrol · YY20 PCX

The Honda CRF 1100 A-L presents a clean and stable roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 26 July 2025 at 8,601 miles, passed with zero defects, indicating the machine was in sound mechanical and structural order at that point. The overall trend is stable, with only a single minor advisory logged in the preceding two years. The mileage pattern confirms exceptionally low use for a machine approaching six years of age. Between the July 2024 test at 6,314 miles and the July 2025 pass at 8,601 miles, the bike covered just 2,287 miles in twelve months. Prior to that, only 381 miles were added between July 2023 and July 2024. Such low annual accumulation raises the possibility of prolonged standing, which can cause tyre sidewall deterioration, stale fuel issues, and surface corrosion on brake discs and exposed components, even if mileage remains negligible. The sole advisory on record, front tyre sidewall cracking noted on 06 July 2024 at 6,314 miles, appears to have been addressed ahead of the clean 2025 test. That single flag suggests the front tyre was replaced, yet sidewall cracking on a low-mileage machine often points to age-related perishing rather than wear. A buyer should verify the date codes on both tyres and inspect the rear tyre carefully for similar dry-rot, particularly if the machine has been stored in direct sunlight or temperature-variable conditions. Beyond tyres, the absence of any suspension, braking, or structural defects across three consecutive annual tests is reassuring. Still, a hands-on inspection should focus on the front brake calipers for signs of sticking, the drive chain for correct tension and lubrication, and the underside of the frame and swingarm for any cosmetic corrosion that may have developed during periods of inactivity. The clean MOT record is a positive indicator, but low-mileage machines demand scrutiny of perishable rubber and fluid systems that deteriorate with time rather than use.
