HARLEY-DAVIDSON FLHTC2017 · 1.7L PETROL

The vehicle currently maintains a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 20 May 2025 at 8,754 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the motorcycle meets all legal requirements for road use. While a failure occurred in mid-May 2024, the subsequent retest just six days later showed a clean pass, suggesting the owner was proactive in addressing any identified faults immediately. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 973 miles per year. Between February 2022 and February 2023, the bike covered only 310 miles, suggesting long periods of stationary or seasonal use. The jump of 876 miles recorded between February 2023 and May 2024 represents a brief period of higher usage compared to previous years. This pattern of low mileage generally limits mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it can introduce specific risks related to fluid degradation and tyre flat spotting from sitting. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage storage. Check the brake lines for hairline cracking and the rubber seals for perished condition, as these degrade over time regardless of distance travelled. Given the low usage, inspect the tyres for age-related hardening rather than just tread depth, as the rubber may lose its grip. Additionally, verify the frame for signs of surface corrosion or rust, as long-term storage can sometimes lead to moisture accumulation in hidden areas of the chassis.
