HARLEY DAVIDSON FLSTF2007 · 1.6L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent testing data. The latest MOT conducted on 20 May 2025 at 22,545 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure three weeks prior on 3 May 2025 at the same mileage. This specific sequence suggests a minor issue was identified and successfully rectified immediately before the retest, as the vehicle currently meets all minimum regulatory standards. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nineteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,187 miles per year. Between the December 2023 test at 21,171 miles and the May 2025 test, the vehicle covered only 1,374 miles over a seventeen-month period. This low usage indicates minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of standing can often lead to degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid chemistry that a standard MOT test may not fully capture. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on signs of age associated with low-mileage storage. Check for perished tyres, dry-rott, and corrosion on the brake lines or suspension components despite the clean history. Since the motorcycle is rarely used, verify the condition of the fork seals and check for fluid leaks around the engine gaskets that occur when seals dry out. The failure in May 2025, while resolved, warrants a query into exactly what specific fault was addressed to ensure it was not a recurring mechanical issue.
