HARLEY-DAVIDSON FLHRSI2004 · 1.4L Petrol

The 2004 Harley-Davidson FLHRSI presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its five most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 31 May 2024 at 28,531 miles returned a clean pass, matching the fault-free outcomes seen in every prior entry back to 7 July 2018. No advisories or mechanical faults appear in the DVSA history, indicating the machine has not required corrective work within the test scope over the last six years. Recorded mileage shows exceptionally light use for a 22-year-old vehicle. The odometer climbed from 25,332 miles at the July 2018 test to 28,531 miles by May 2024, a total of 3,199 miles across six years or roughly 533 miles per year. The longest gap between tests ran from June 2019 to March 2021, yet mileage rose only 1,178 miles in that span. Such low annual accumulation suggests extended standing periods rather than regular road use. A clean MOT sheet does not certify component health beneath test thresholds. Long stationary intervals on a twin-cylinder cruiser of this age invite tyre sidewall cracking, seized brake calipers, and degraded suspension bushes through lack of movement. The absence of corrosion or structural advisories is favourable, though the tester cannot assess hidden frame internals or fuel system condition from the record alone. A buyer should physically verify brake disc wear, check for weeping fork seals, and confirm the exhaust emissions remain within limits under cold start. Inspect the primary chain tension and tyre date codes before purchase. The documented history implies a carefully stored, lightly ridden machine, but in-person scrutiny of consumables and standing-related degradation remains essential.
