2013 Honda Nsc 50 Wh C

CarHunch analysed 358 real MOT records for the 2013 Honda Nsc 50 Wh C. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This Honda scooter hits the UK average pass rate at 80.5%, making it about as reliable as any other vehicle on the road—though nearly one in five examples have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, which is worth factoring into your safety assessment. The median mileage of 8,407 miles is remarkably low for an 11-year-old machine, suggesting these machines aren't ridden hard or frequently, which bodes well for wear rates.

With an average of 2.7 advisories per vehicle against less than one failure, most issues are maintenance warnings rather than safety-critical problems. Get a thorough pre-purchase inspection focusing on electrics, battery condition, and brake systems—the advisory data suggests these are the typical wear points on this model.

What to check before buying a 2013 Honda Nsc 50 Wh C

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
