2016 HARLEY DAVIDSON FXDL1.7L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear trend of improvement in its mechanical presentation. The most recent MOT test on 22 May 2025 at 20,114 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed or have resolved. This clean result marks a significant shift from the period between 2019 and 2022 where several minor issues were consistently flagged. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 2,011 miles per year. Data shows a notable stagnant period between August 2023 and February 2024, where the vehicle covered only 115 miles in six months. Since the July 2022 test, usage has remained minimal, covering just 1,386 miles in three years. While this low mileage suggests light wear on drivetrain components, it increases the risk of fluid degradation, dry seals, and internal corrosion due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system given the recurring history of grabbing calipers and fluctuating effort. Between 2019 and 2022, the tester repeatedly flagged front and rear brake issues, including pads reaching the minimum limit. Although the 2025 test showed no defects, the low usage can lead to seized caliper pistons or perished brake lines. The previously noisy exhaust noted consistently from 2020 to 2022 should also be checked for secure brackets or heat shields to ensure the system was properly rectified.
