2015 Harley-Davidson V ROD 1.3L Petrol · AY64 HWP

The 2015 Harley-Davidson V-Rod is currently roadworthy, with a stable maintenance history showing two consecutive MOT passes at the same mileage of 3,493 miles. The most recent test on 2022-06-09 confirmed the motorcycle’s compliance with UK roadworthiness standards, with no defects recorded. This consistent passing record over a three-year period indicates reliable upkeep and suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained by its owner. The recorded mileage of 3,493 miles over 11 years is exceptionally low, averaging just 318 miles per year. This implies the motorcycle has seen minimal use, possibly stored for long periods or used only occasionally. The MOT history shows a gap of nearly five years between the 2021 and 2022 tests, which is unusual for a vehicle with such low mileage. The absence of any MOT entries between 2017 and 2021 raises questions about whether the motorcycle was registered or used during that time, or if the MOTs were simply not recorded. However, the fact that it passed both tests without issues suggests the mechanical components have not deteriorated significantly despite the age. Given the low usage and long intervals between MOTs, a buyer should conduct a thorough pre-purchase inspection focusing on components that degrade over time even without heavy use. Pay close attention to the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, which may have lost resilience due to age. The brake system should be checked for binding calipers or seized components, especially since the rear brakes were flagged as binding in the 2022 test. Inspect the exhaust system for corrosion and ensure the structural integrity of the frame and swingarm is sound. Additionally, examine the battery and electrical system for signs of inactivity-related failure, and verify that the tyres are not aged or cracked despite low mileage.
