2006 Harley-Davidson Flhtcui 1.6L Petrol · AY06 FDJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive ownership approach. The most recent test on August 12, 2025 at 69,298 miles secured a pass just five days after a failure. That initial failure identified a non-functional rear stop lamp and a rear tyre reaching the legal limit. While the bike passed, the recurring nature of consumable issues suggests the owner only addresses safety defects once they result in an imminent MOT failure. At 69,298 miles, the motorcycle shows low mileage for its twenty year age, averaging approximately 3,465 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with intervals of roughly 2,000 to 3,000 miles between tests from 2022 to 2025. However, low annual mileage often masks age-related degradation of rubber components. The 2025 advisory specifically noted cracking on the rear tyre, a classic sign of rubber drying out from sitting stationary despite the low tread depth. A buyer must personally inspect the condition of all tyres, as the record shows recurring failures with the front tyre in 2022 and the rear tyre in 2025. The electrical failure of the rear stop lamp in 2025 warrants a thorough check of the wiring loom and switches for corrosion or fatigue. Given the age of the machine, close attention should also be paid to structural corrosion on the frame and the state of the fork seals, as these areas are not explicitly detailed in the MOT history but are critical for long-term reliability on low-mileage examples.
