2009 Harley-Davidson XL883C 0.9L Petrol · CU09 LDJ

The 2009 Harley-Davidson XL883C presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 August 2025 at 17,456 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes from 2021 through 2025. The mileage pattern shows very light use for a 17-year-old machine. The record climbs from 7,349 miles at the June 2021 test to 17,456 miles by August 2025, an average of roughly 1,027 miles per year across the documented period. Annual increments stayed modest: 911 miles to July 2022, 1,475 to June 2023, 1,787 to August 2024, and 5,934 miles to August 2025. The final jump is the largest yet remains low overall. No test gaps or failures appear in the data, and the history is sparse on advisories. A buyer should still inspect the machine in person despite the clean record. Low mileage with long standing periods risks perished suspension bushes, degraded fork seals, and flat-spotted tyres unseen by MOT testers. The August 2025 pass noted no corrosion or structural issues, but Harley twin-shock frames and exhaust brackets warrant a close check for rust at welded joints. Verify the odometer against service stamps and confirm brake caliper condition, as binding calipers and worn discs escape detection without advisories. The absence of recorded faults implies conscientious ownership, though a pre-purchase inspection remains prudent on a bike of this age.
