2010 Harley-Davidson Flstc Heritage STC 1584 11 1.6L Petrol · DE60 CWM

This Harley-Davidson Heritage Softail presents a clean and stable maintenance record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 2 September 2025 at 17,085 miles, passed with zero defects. This marks five consecutive passes with no advisories or failures, indicating a consistent and improving trend in mechanical upkeep. The vehicle has been well cared for, with no recurring faults or emerging issues flagged by any tester over the past five years. The mileage pattern tells a clear story of light, seasonal use. Over approximately 16 years, the odometer has recorded just 17,085 miles, averaging roughly 1,068 miles annually. The annual MOT entries show steady but modest accumulation: 8,335 miles in August 2021, 9,622 in August 2022, 11,100 in August 2023, 14,725 in September 2024, and 17,085 in September 2025. The jump between 2023 and 2024 accounts for 3,625 miles in roughly 13 months, suggesting a period of more active riding, while the 2024–2025 interval added 2,360 miles. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes that would indicate odometer tampering or prolonged neglect. The annual testing rhythm itself, consistently booked around August or September each year, reflects a disciplined owner who maintains the bike on a predictable schedule. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection. Low-mileage motorcycles that stand for extended periods can develop issues that MOT tests do not always capture. Stale fuel, perished rubber hoses, dried-out suspension seals, and surface corrosion on brake discs or exhaust components are common on bikes that see infrequent use. The front fork seals and rear shock absorbers should be checked for weeping, and the brake calipers inspected for sticking pistons, as binding brakes are a frequent issue on machines that sit idle. Tyre date codes deserve close attention; even with minimal tread wear, rubber older than five or six years can harden and crack, compromising grip. The frame, swingarm, and exhaust system should be examined for corrosion, particularly around welds and mounting points, as structural integrity can degrade even on low-mileage machines stored in less-than-ideal conditions. The drive belt and final drive components should be inspected for tension and condition, and the battery tested, as infrequent use can shorten its lifespan. A short test ride will reveal whether the clutch, gearbox, and throttle response feel smooth and consistent. This record inspires confidence, but a hands-on inspection remains essential before purchase.
