Honda Vfr750 (1995)
1995 Honda Vfr750
CarHunch analysed 146 real MOT records for the 1995 Honda Vfr750. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 1995 Honda VFR750 passes MOT at 88.6%, notably above the UK average of 80%, which is a strong result for a nearly 30-year-old motorcycle—just over 15% have ever shown a dangerous defect, so structural issues aren't a widespread concern. These machines sit at a modest 35,384 miles median, suggesting many are cherished rather than thrashed, though the 5.7 advisories per bike signal that age-related wear is catching up. Failures average 1.4 per vehicle, which for a bike of this vintage reflects reasonable condition rather than any systemic weakness. If you're considering one, budget for routine maintenance (those advisories point to tired cables, worn brake pads, and fuel system corrosion) and always insist on a full pre-purchase inspection.
What to check before buying a 1995 Honda Vfr750
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.
