2018 Harley-Davidson Flhxse CVO Sglide 1923 18 1.9L Petrol · BV18 EKX

A consistent history of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with five recorded tests showing a stable trend of passes and very few flagged defects. This stability is evidenced by the most recent clean pass on 5 May 2026, following a pattern of minimal issues over the last several years. The recorded mileage of 7,237 miles is low for an eight-year-old machine, averaging approximately 905 miles per year. Such a low accumulation rate suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary. There is a notable gap in the testing sequence between July 2021 and May 2023, indicating a period where the vehicle may have been off the road or not subject to annual inspection. Inspection should focus on the exhaust system, which was flagged as noisy during the May 2024 test. Although the tests in 2025 and 2026 were clean, a physical check of the exhaust mounts and the integrity of the baffles is necessary to ensure the system remains secure. During a test ride, listen for abnormal rattling or excessive noise levels that could indicate a recurring issue with the exhaust assembly. Given the low annual mileage and the gap in testing between 2021 and 2023, attention should be paid to components that can degrade during periods of inactivity. Check for binding brake calipers or sticking levers, and inspect all rubber seals and hoses for signs of perishing or cracking. Ensure the steering head is smooth and that there is no stiffness in the suspension travel, which can occur when a vehicle is left stationary for extended durations.
