Honda Vt750 (2007)
2007 Honda Vt750
CarHunch analysed 132 real MOT records for the 2007 Honda Vt750. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2007 Honda VT750 posts a first-time pass rate of 90.4%, notably ahead of the UK average of 80%, suggesting these bikes are generally well-maintained and reliable. However, nearly one in five (19.7%) have experienced a dangerous defect at some point, which is a meaningful concern for prospective buyers to factor into their decision.
The median mileage of just under 10,000 miles is notably low for a 17-year-old bike, indicating many examples have been stored or ridden sparingly, which typically favours longevity. Owners encounter an average of 1.15 failures and 2.7 advisories per test, pointing to minor wear items rather than structural problems—but run a full pre-purchase inspection on any bike you're considering, paying particular attention to fuel system and electrical components where older VT750s tend to show their age.
What to check before buying a 2007 Honda Vt750
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.
