1998 HARLEY-DAVIDSON FXDWG1.3L Petrol

The motorcycle remains roadworthy as of the September 2025 MOT at 13,816 miles, passing without any recorded defects. Five consecutive passes demonstrate a stable maintenance trend, with no deterioration evident across the testing period. Mileage has risen from 13,653 miles in September 2021 to 13,816 miles in September 2025, an average increase of roughly 40 miles per year. Such low annual accumulation suggests limited use or prolonged storage rather than intensive riding, and the record shows no gaps or sudden spikes that would indicate rapid mileage build‑up. The sparse mileage progression aligns with the low‑mileage profile typical for a 1998 model. A prospective buyer should examine the frame and exhaust for any corrosion, verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, and assess the brake discs and pads for wear or uneven scoring. Tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity merit close inspection, as low mileage does not guarantee rubber health. Finally, confirm that the fuel system, battery, and any stored‑oil seals are free of leaks or degradation, ensuring that the motorcycle’s idle periods have not compromised its mechanical reliability.
