2022 Honda NT 1100 A-N 1.1L Petrol · YY22 TCX

The most recent MOT test completed on 3 August 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. When evaluating the overall maintenance trend, the vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable profile, with the previous test in July 2025 also returning a clean pass. This lack of recorded failures or advisories indicates that the motorcycle has been kept in a consistent state of roadworthiness and has not been subject to the mechanical degradation or structural issues that typically necessitate MOT intervention. The recorded mileage of 5,419 miles for a four-year-old vehicle represents a very low annual usage rate of approximately 1,355 miles. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the engine, transmission, and suspension components, it also indicates that the motorcycle may have spent extended periods stationary. In the context of a high-specification touring machine, low usage can sometimes lead to issues related to component stagnation rather than mechanical fatigue, which requires a specific approach during your physical inspection. Because the MOT history is clean and the mileage is low, you should shift your focus from wear-related inspections to age-related degradation. Closely examine the tyres for any signs of perishing, such as sidewall cracking or hardening of the rubber, as tyres can reach the end of their safe service life due to age even if the tread depth is high. You should also inspect the drive chain for signs of surface oxidation or stiffness, which can occur when a chain is not regularly lubricated through use. Check the brake discs for any signs of heavy corrosion or pitting caused by moisture accumulation during periods of standing, and ensure the calipers move freely without binding. Finally, verify the condition of the 12V battery, as infrequent use is a primary cause of battery sulfation and capacity loss. It is also vital to confirm that the vehicle has been serviced according to the manufacturer's time-based intervals rather than solely on mileage. Request the service book to ensure that oil changes and brake fluid flushes have been carried out annually, as fluids can degrade chemically over time regardless of how few miles the vehicle has covered. Testing the various electronic rider aids during your test ride will also be essential to ensure all systems are operating correctly after periods of inactivity.
