On the safety side, the most frequently flagged dangerous fault is brake pad(s) less than 1.0 mm thick.

A typical Honda Nc 700 Xa-d owner drives around 1,547 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres. If it's well below, the vehicle may have been sitting unused — check for perished rubber, corroded discs and stale fluids.
