HARLEY DAVIDSON FLHR2015 · 1.7L Petrol

The 2015 Harley Davidson FLHR demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with all five MOT tests from 2022 to 2025 recording no defects. The most recent September 2025 test at 14,848 miles confirmed compliance, aligning with prior results from 2024 (12,327 miles), 2023 (8,605 miles), and 2022 (6,712 and 6,519 miles). No advisories or failures were noted across the entire history, indicating consistent maintenance and absence of critical mechanical or structural issues. The vehicle’s mileage of 14,848 miles over 11 years equates to approximately 1,350 annual miles, significantly below average for its age. This low usage suggests either infrequent operation or prolonged storage, which can accelerate wear on components like battery life, fluid systems, and suspension bushings. The MOT intervals show gradual mileage increases, with no abrupt spikes, but gaps between tests—such as the 1,903-mile jump from April 2022 (6,519 miles) to August 2022 (6,712 miles)—may reflect irregular usage patterns. A physical inspection should prioritise signs of inactivity-related degradation, including corrosion in the frame or exhaust system, dry-rotted suspension components, and brake caliper binding from prolonged static periods. While no defects were recorded, the low mileage warrants scrutiny of the battery’s condition and tyre tread depth, as these elements may have deteriorated without regular use. The absence of advisories on tyres, brakes, or structural integrity in the MOT history supports the vehicle’s mechanical soundness but does not eliminate the need for hands-on verification of hidden wear.
