1990 Harley Davidson XLH1200 1.2L Petrol · G680 PYC

The most recent MOT on 13 January 2022 recorded a pass at 859 miles with no defects noted, indicating a stable maintenance record up to that point; however, the test is now more than four and a half years old, so the present roadworthiness cannot be confirmed without an up‑to‑date inspection. Across a 36‑year lifespan the machine has logged only 859 miles, averaging roughly 24 miles per year. The record shows no periods of rapid mileage accumulation, implying the bike has seen very light use or extended storage between rides. Such low mileage often points to minimal wear on consumables but may conceal age‑related deterioration that is not reflected in mileage alone. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of components that suffer from long idle periods. Inspect the fuel system for signs of stale fuel, clogged carburetor jets, and any corrosion inside the tank. Examine rubber hoses, seals, and the battery for brittleness or loss of charge. Check tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, as well as brake pads, discs, and caliper operation for any hidden wear. Evaluate the chain, sprockets, and primary drive for rust or stretched links, and feel the suspension bushes and coil springs for looseness or cracking. Finally, a thorough visual survey of the frame, exhaust, and any mounting points for rust or structural compromise will be essential before confirming the bike’s suitability for continued use.
