HARLEY-DAVIDSON 2012 · 1.7L PETROL

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of clean passes across the last five annual tests. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 12,151 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This streak of perfect results indicates that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable parameters and have not triggered any safety or environmental failures during the official testing process. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 868 miles per year. Between June 2021 and September 2025, the vehicle covered only 2,886 miles, reflecting very infrequent use. The gap between the May 2023 test and the October 2024 test shows an interval of just 741 miles over seventeen months. This low usage suggests the motorcycle has likely been stored for long periods, which minimizes mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension but introduces different maintenance concerns related to age-related degradation. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer must account for risks associated with long-term standing. A physical inspection should focus on flat spotting or cracking in tyre sidewalls, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. The buyer should check for perished seals in the forks and hydraulic lines which can dry out when the vehicle is not regularly exercised. Additionally, inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and the fuel system for varnish, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from fluid stagnation rather than mechanical wear through use.
