2002 HARLEY-DAVIDSON FLSTFI1.4L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a recent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection on 28 August 2025 at 13,331 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety components met the required standards. This follows a period of consistent maintenance, suggesting that the current owner is addressing necessary requirements to keep the motorcycle roadworthy. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 555 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between the July 2020 and September 2024 tests, during which the bike covered only 340 miles over four years. While this low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of standing can lead to secondary issues with rubber degradation, fluid breakdown, and fuel systems that an MOT test does not capture. The only recorded failure occurred on 22 May 2019 at 10,426 miles, where the rear brake pads were measured below the 1.0mm threshold. Although this was rectified for the passing test six days later, a buyer should still inspect the brake system for seized calipers or perished hoses due to the low usage. Given the age of the motorcycle, a physical inspection must focus on corrosion on the frame and the integrity of the fork seals, as these components often suffer when a vehicle remains stationary for extended durations.
