2004 HARLEY-DAVIDSON FLHRSI ROAD KING CUSTOM1.4L Petrol

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness status based on the most recent certification. In the July 2022 MOT test, conducted at 12,346 miles, the motorcycle passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable mechanical condition at that point in time, though the lack of historical data makes it impossible to establish a long-term maintenance trend or identify recurring patterns of component failure. The recorded mileage is exceptionally low for a vehicle from 2004, averaging approximately 561 miles per year. While this low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it also points toward long periods of inactivity. Since the last recorded test was performed in July 2022, the vehicle has now gone nearly four years without a formal roadworthiness check. This gap increases the risk of undetected degradation in rubber components or fluid systems that does not manifest through mileage alone. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focused on issues common with low-mileage long-term storage. Check for dry rot and sidewall cracking on the tyres, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. Inspect the fuel lines and hoses for signs of perish or cracking, and examine the fork seals for leaks that may have developed while the bike sat stationary. Additionally, verify the brake discs and calipers for corrosion or pitting, as lack of use can lead to surface rust that affects braking performance.
