2019 Harley-Davidson Flhtk Ultra Limited 1868 20 1.9L Petrol · AV69 COH

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 18 September 2024 at 14,123 miles confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. This represents a stable maintenance trend over the past two years, as both the 2023 (9,613 miles) and 2022 (8,607 miles) tests also passed without failings. The single failure in June 2022 —a procedural anomaly rather than a mechanical issue—does not indicate recurring problems. However, the 18-month gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests suggests a brief period of non-compliance with annual MOT requirements, though the vehicle itself showed no underlying faults during that interval. The recorded mileage of 14,123 miles over seven years equates to approximately 2,000 miles annually , a figure significantly lower than average for a motorcycle of this class. The 1,703-mile jump between the 2022 failure (8,606 miles) and pass (8,607 miles) is likely a data entry error rather than genuine usage. Beyond that, the 2023–2024 period saw 650 miles logged in a year , reinforcing the pattern of minimal riding. While low mileage generally reduces wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and drivetrain components, prolonged inactivity can accelerate corrosion in critical areas such as the frame, exhaust system, and brake caliper guides. The lack of advisories in any test suggests no hidden concerns were flagged by the tester, but this does not preclude subtle degradation from rust or fluid degradation over extended periods of storage. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on structural integrity and corrosion , particularly around the frame rails, exhaust manifolds, and undercarriage . The suspion springs and rear shock absorbers —though not explicitly tested—should be examined for oil leaks or excessive play, as low mileage does not guarantee their longevity if the vehicle has been stored unsafely. The brake system , while never failed, warrants scrutiny for disc thickness, caliper binding, and hydraulic fluid condition , especially if the motorcycle has been left stationary for extended periods. Finally, the tyres —though not recorded in the MOT—should be checked for uneven wear or signs of age-related degradation, as even low-mileage tyres can degrade over time if not rotated or replaced according to manufacturer recommendations. A thorough check of these areas will provide clarity on whether the vehicle’s true condition aligns with its paperless history.
