1990 HARLEY-DAVIDSON FLHTC1.3L Petrol

The vehicle presents a consistent and stable maintenance profile with no recorded failures or advisories across the available MOT history. The most recent test on 18 March 2026 at 28,167 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects noted. This indicates that the vehicle has met the minimum legal requirements for roadworthiness during its most recent inspections. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a 36-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 782 miles per year. Between the April 2022 test at 28,025 miles and the July 2024 test at 28,113 miles, the vehicle covered only 888 miles over a period of two years. The subsequent increase to 28,167 miles by March 2026 shows a continued pattern of very light usage. While this suggests minimal wear on drivetrain components and consumables, such low mileage often implies the vehicle spends significant time stationary. A physical inspection is necessary to check for signs of age-related degradation that MOT testing may not fully capture. Given the low usage, you should specifically examine rubber components such as fuel lines, tyres, and various seals for signs of perishing or cracking. Long periods of standing can lead to fluid degradation and corrosion in the fuel system or braking components. You should also inspect the chassis and structural integrity for any signs of surface corrosion or oxidation. While the MOT record shows no issues, the age of the vehicle makes it prudent to verify the condition of the suspension bushings and the integrity of the exhaust system. Checking for any signs of fluid leaks from the engine or transmission is also advised to ensure the low mileage has not resulted in neglected seal maintenance.
