2013 Honda Nc 700 SA C
CarHunch analysed 216 real MOT records for the 2013 Honda Nc 700 SA C. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This NC 700 is slightly more reliable than average, with an 84.6% first-time pass rate against the UK benchmark of 80%, though nearly a quarter of tested bikes have picked up dangerous defects at some point—something to investigate closely on any used example. The median mileage of 18,708 miles is respectably low for a 2013 model, suggesting these are well-maintained machines, but the average 0.88 failures per MOT and 4.4 advisories signal that wear items and minor corrosion aren't uncommon. Check the service history carefully and budget for typical maintenance like chain, sprockets, and brake components. Before committing, request the full MOT history to spot any pattern of dangerous defects or repeat failures on the specific bike you're considering.
