2008 Harley-Davidson Fxcwc 1.6L Petrol · 739 AAY

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on 17 July 2025 with 19,407 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable following a corrective period in mid-2024. While the 2024 failure indicated some reactive maintenance, the subsequent pass suggests that the current owner addressed the identified faults immediately to bring the motorcycle back to test standards. The usage profile is exceptionally low for an 18-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,078 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap between the 2021 test at 17,361 miles and the June 2023 test at 18,826 miles, during which only 1,465 miles were covered. This pattern suggests the vehicle sits stationary for long periods, which can often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, seal drying, and fluid-related issues despite the low mechanical mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the electrical system and braking components following the June 2024 failure at 19,314 miles. The tester flagged multiple lighting failures including stop, position, and registration plate lamps, alongside rear brake pads reaching the minimum limit. These issues indicate that the wiring may suffer from minor corrosion or that basic consumables are only replaced when a failure occurs. Given the low mileage, verify the brake discs for pitting and check the tyres for sidewall rot or flat spotting, as age often affects these parts more than mileage on stationary vehicles.
