2012 Harley-Davidson XL 1200 C Custom Sportster 12 1.2L Petrol · OE12 AAU

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 29 May 2025 at 2,685 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This perfect streak across the last five years suggests that the motorcycle has remained in a functional condition without triggering any mechanical failures or structural concerns during the annual inspection process. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 192 miles per year. Between May 2021 and May 2025, the vehicle covered only 688 miles, moving from 1,997 to 2,685 miles. Such minimal usage indicates a very low mechanical load on the drivetrain, engine, and braking system. However, the long periods of inactivity implied by these figures often lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluids rather than wear-and-tear. Given the lack of recorded advisories, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by long-term storage. A buyer must check for perished or cracked fuel lines, dried seals, and degraded tyres which can occur regardless of low mileage. The braking system requires scrutiny for seized calipers or corroded discs due to lack of use. Additionally, the frame should be inspected for signs of surface corrosion or pitting, as the MOT record does not account for structural integrity issues that occur between tests.
