2005 Harley-Davidson Sportster 1200 1.2L Petrol · CU54 WRX

The 2005 Harley-Davidson Sportster 1200 presents a stable roadworthiness status with no active defects. The most recent test on 20 April 2026 at 4,629 miles returned a pass with no advisories, continuing an unbroken clean record across the available checks. The maintenance trend is steady, with no worsening mechanical faults or recurring advisories logged in the supplied history. Recorded mileage sits at 4,629 miles against an approximate 21-year age, equating to roughly 220 miles per year. The tests show sparse but consistent low use: 4,031 miles on 13 June 2015, 4,148 miles on 18 June 2016, then a long gap before 4,197 miles on 18 March 2024, 4,381 miles on 22 May 2025, and 4,629 miles in April 2026. The eight-year void between 2016 and 2024 suggests the machine stood unused or was off-road, with only modest annual accumulation since its return to testing. A buyer should still inspect in person for age-related degradation not captured by pass results. Long standing periods risk perished suspension bushes, seized calipers, and internal corrosion in brake lines or the fuel system. The clean MOT record does not exempt the Sportster from structural rust on the frame or exhaust, nor from tyre sidewall cracking after years of static storage. Given the low mileage and absent advisories, previous keepers appear to have stored the bike rather than neglected running repairs. The buyer should confirm fluid changes, brake disc condition, and chain tension before use, as the record implies light but intermittent operation rather than rigorous mechanical servicing.
