Honda Nt700v (2007)
2007 Honda Nt700v
CarHunch analysed 195 real MOT records for the 2007 Honda Nt700v. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2007 Honda NT700V passes its MOT at 88.1%, well above the UK average of 80%, but one in four of these bikes have recorded a dangerous defect at some point—a significant concern if you're buying used. Petrol and diesel splits aren't relevant for a motorcycle, so reliability here is genuinely solid across the board.
At nearly 26,000 miles on average, these machines are lightly ridden for their age, which supports the strong pass rate. The 1.64 failures per vehicle and 6.3 advisories suggest minor wear rather than systemic problems, but that 25.6% dangerous defect rate means you should have any used NT700V inspected by a trusted mechanic before purchase, particularly checking brakes, suspension, and lights.
What to check before buying a 2007 Honda Nt700v
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.
- ⚠️ 25.6% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
