2003 Harley Davidson Flstc 1.4L Petrol · AY03 NHZ

This Harley-Davidson FLSTC has maintained a consistent MOT pass record over the past four annual tests, with no defects or advisories recorded in the most recent examination conducted on 12 April 2025. The vehicle’s roadworthiness status remains stable, though the final pass date—now over 14 months ago—means it is technically overdue for testing. Given the vehicle’s age and the typical 12-month MOT cycle, this delay could indicate either a deliberate deferral or an oversight by the current owner. The absence of any recurring advisories or defects across all tests suggests that, at least in terms of MOT-critical components, the vehicle has been kept within legal limits for emissions, brakes, lights, and structural integrity during this period. The recorded mileage of 25,069 miles over approximately 23 years—roughly 1,090 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given its heavy-duty nature. The last MOT in March 2022 was logged at an unspecified mileage, but the subsequent tests in 2023 and 2024 show no significant mileage progression, implying prolonged periods of inactivity. While low mileage can reduce wear on critical components like the engine, transmission, and suspension, it also raises concerns about potential neglect in other areas, such as fluid changes, chain maintenance, or even long-term storage conditions. The lack of mileage detail on earlier tests makes it difficult to assess whether there were periods of rapid usage that might have accelerated wear. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of high-wear items that are not routinely checked in standard MOT tests. The suspension—particularly the rear shocks, swingarm bushes, and steering head bearings—should be scrutinised for dryness or excessive play, as prolonged inactivity can lead to stiffness or failure. The drive chain and sprockets warrant close examination for stretch, corrosion, or lubrication deficiencies, as these are often overlooked in low-mileage motorcycles. Additionally, the electrical system, including wiring harnesses and connectors, may degrade over time due to exposure to moisture or vibration, so a thorough check for chafing or corrosion is essential. Finally, the frame and fuel tank should be inspected for signs of structural rust or cracking, especially if the bike has spent extended periods outdoors.
