2015 HARLEY-DAVIDSON FLSTF1.7L PETROL

The motorcycle maintains a current roadworthiness status following the pass issued on 28 May 2026 at 2,519 miles. The maintenance trend remains stable, though it is defined by a recurring advisory regarding exhaust noise levels. While the vehicle has successfully cleared every annual inspection, the persistent mention of an excessively noisy exhaust suggests the installation of an aftermarket system or a degradation of the internal baffling that has not been addressed by previous owners. The recorded mileage of 2,519 over an eleven-year period indicates extremely light usage, averaging approximately 229 miles per annum. This low-mileage profile is consistent across the provided history, with minimal fluctuations between annual tests. Such infrequent use often results in components remaining static for extended periods, which can be as detrimental to mechanical longevity as high-mileage wear. The lack of significant mileage accumulation suggests the machine has spent the vast majority of its life in storage rather than in active service. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the exhaust system to determine if the noise advisory stems from a loose mounting or a non-compliant silencer modification. The 2025 test flagged a slightly binding rear brake, which is a common symptom of a motorcycle that sits idle for long durations, as brake fluid can absorb moisture and caliper pistons can seize. Verify that the brake lever and pedal travel are smooth and that the wheels rotate freely without drag. Given the age and low usage, check all rubber components, including tyres and hoses, for signs of dry rot or perishing, as these materials degrade over time regardless of how few miles the vehicle has covered.
