Our Verdict
This Harley Davidson XL is a compelling
When inspecting this motorcycle, focus on the implications of its infrequent use. While the MOT history shows no failures, a bike that sits for long periods can suffer from fuel degradation in the tank and lines, as well as potential seal perishing. Ensure you check the service history to see if fluids have been changed regularly despite the low mileage.
Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and battery. Even with low mileage, rubber compounds degrade over time, and a 2016-registered bike may be running on older components that require replacement for safety reasons. Verify that the bike starts cleanly from cold and that there is no evidence of oil leaks around the engine casing.
As a 1202cc machine, insurance premiums will be determined by your riding experience and security measures. The VED (Road Tax) for a motorcycle of this engine size is standard for the class, though you should verify the current annual rate via the DVLA website.
Maintenance costs for an XL model generally involve standard servicing, such as oil and filter changes, and chain or belt maintenance. Given the low mileage, you may find that major component wear is minimal, but be prepared for the costs associated with periodic safety checks and potential replacement of ageing consumables.
Pay close attention to the condition of the tyres, looking for signs of cracking or hardening due to age, as the MOT test does not always flag age-related rubber degradation. Check the fuel tank internally if possible for signs of corrosion, which can occur in bikes that have been stored with low fuel levels.
Inspect the drive belt for any signs of debris damage or fraying, and check the brake lines for any signs of perishing. While the MOT history is clean, ensure all electrical components, including indicators and lighting, are fully functional, as these are common areas for minor issues on motorcycles.
Registered in August 2016, this 1202cc black Harley Davidson XL has covered just 6,517 miles in its ten-year lifespan. The MOT history is entirely clean, with three consecutive passes recorded since 2021 showing no defects or advisories. Its low annual usage suggests it has spent significant time off the road, which is a key factor to consider regarding its mechanical state.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Harley Davidson XL; however, the specific history for this vehicle shows no MOT-related defects over the last five years.
