HARLEY-DAVIDSON 1952 · 1.0L PETROL

The vehicle’s most recent MOT was recorded on 2012-04-17, when it had 42,005 miles and received a PASS with no defects listed. This suggests the bike was in acceptable condition at that time, but no further MOT data is available to assess its current state. The 14-year gap since the last test raises concerns, as critical components may have degraded without inspection. The vehicle’s mileage of 42,005 miles over 74 years equates to roughly 568 miles per year, which is exceptionally low. This could indicate infrequent use, long periods of storage, or limited operation. Low mileage often correlates with under-use, which may lead to issues like seized components, degraded seals, or rust in stationary vehicles. However, without evidence of such problems in the MOT history, this remains a speculative risk. The MOT history shows no recurring defects or safety issues, but the absence of recent tests limits the ability to confirm the bike’s current condition. A 14-year gap means potential wear or failures in systems like brakes, suspension, or the drivetrain could have gone unaddressed. The low mileage does not necessarily indicate mechanical health, as older vehicles can suffer from age-related deterioration even with minimal use.
