2012 Harley-Davidson Forty Eight XL 1200 X 13 1.2L Petrol · AF62 UUN

The 2012 Harley-Davidson Forty Eight XL1200X presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at the most recent test on 19 September 2025 at 3,371 miles. No defects, advisories, or failures appear across the entire DVLA MOT record. The maintenance history shows consistent annual compliance with no mechanical or structural concerns raised by testers. The mileage pattern is unusual for a fourteen-year-old machine. The 15 September 2023 test recorded 13,077 miles, yet the 19 September 2024 test shows only 3,266 miles, a drop of nearly 10,000 miles that indicates either a clerical error at one test or a replacement odometer unit. From 2024 to 2025 the bike covered just 105 miles, and the 2022 test at 2,964 miles confirms long-term low use. Average annual use sits near 241 miles, suggesting prolonged standing periods. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension bushes, fork seals, and brake calipers for stiffness caused by inactivity rather than wear. Standing motorcycles commonly develop corroded brake discs and degraded tyre sidewalls even without recorded defects. The clean record gives no cause for alarm, but the low mileage and 2023 to 2024 anomaly warrant verification of the true odometer reading. Examine the exhaust emissions system and structural frame joints for surface corrosion during a hands-on check. The absence of advisories across four tests implies the previous keeper stored the machine under cover and maintained it to a basic standard. Confirm the 13,077-mile 2023 entry against service books before purchase.
