Got a specific Honda Vf750sc you're checking out?
The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.
This cohort data actually comes from the DVSA heavy vehicle testing regime rather than the standard light-vehicle MOT database, so the pass rate figures aren't directly comparable to the UK car average. The 1983 Honda VF750SC is a classic cruiser motorcycle, not a car, and these 247 vehicles represent a tiny surviving population of machines now over 40 years old—the median mileage of just 27,966 suggests most are cherished collectibles rather than daily riders.
That 64.8% first-time pass rate reflects the typical MOT reality for elderly bikes: even well-maintained machines accumulate minor wear, and at this age you should budget for regular remedial work before each test. The extremely low failure and advisory rates (0.06 and 0.1 per vehicle respectively) are encouraging, but if you're buying one, have a pre-purchase inspection from a specialist Honda motorcyclist who can assess corrosion, fuel system integrity, and brake function—these are the real risks on four-decade-old iron, not the MOT data.
We have 247 1983 Honda Vf750sc vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.
There are a few reasons this can happen:
- Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
- Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
- MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
- Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
