2018 HARLEY-DAVIDSON XL 1200 CX ROADSTER 181.2L PETROL

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 14 May 2022 at 1,387 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the motorcycle was in good mechanical condition during its last inspection, showing no signs of component failure or structural degradation at that specific interval. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 173 miles per year. Between the 9 May 2021 test at 1,265 miles and the 14 May 2022 test at 1,387 miles, the bike covered only 122 miles. This minimal usage suggests the vehicle sits for long periods, though the lack of a recorded MOT entry since May 2022 means the vehicle is currently over four years overdue for its annual safety test as of the current date. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of components associated with long-term storage rather than wear and tear. Check for dry rot on the tyres, perished rubber hoses, and degradation of brake fluids due to lack of circulation. The braking system should be scrutinized for seized calipers or pitted discs, which often occur when vehicles remain stationary. Additionally, inspect the fuel system and seals for signs of cracking to ensure the low mileage has not led to internal mechanical neglect.
