2020 Harley-Davidson XL 1200 XS Forty Eight SP 20 1.2L Petrol · CM55 HOG

The vehicle maintains a pristine roadworthiness status with a perfectly stable maintenance record across all recorded inspections. The most recent test conducted on 24 September 2025 at 823 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This consistent trend of clean passes over the last three years indicates the motorcycle has remained in a high state of repair without any signs of mechanical degradation or structural failure. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a six-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 137 miles per year. Between the September 2023 test at 700 miles and the September 2024 test at 741 miles, the bike covered only 41 miles in a full year. This suggests the vehicle is used sporadically or remains stationary for long periods. While low mileage reduces wear on consumable components like brake pads and tyres, it often introduces specific risks related to flat-spotting and fluid degradation. Given that the MOT history shows no recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on signs of long-term storage rather than mechanical wear. Inspect the tyres for rubber hardening, specifically cracking in the sidewalls known as perish, which can occur regardless of low mileage. Check the brake fluid for moisture ingress and inspect the fuel system for any signs of varnish that often occur when petrol sits for months. Ensure the suspension seals and pivot points are not seized or leaking, as infrequent use can cause rubber components to dry out over time.
