2009 Harley-Davidson Flstf 1.6L Petrol · DN09 HCK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows the first sign of decline in the most recent inspection. While the motorcycle passed its September 2025 test at 15,437 miles, it presented with a rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. This marks a departure from the previous four years of testing where the vehicle passed with no recorded defects. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a vehicle of 16 years, averaging only approximately 908 miles per year. The data indicates significant periods of inactivity; for instance, between March 2021 and June 2022, the mileage increased by only 130 miles. However, there has been a recent uptick in usage with 4,568 miles covered between June 2023 and September 2025. While low mileage suggests less mechanical wear on the drivetrain, the low usage often affects rubber-based components and seals more than mileage-based friction. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres, as the most recent advisory suggests they may be nearing their end. Given the low mileage and high age, it is critical to check for dry rot or cracking in the tyres, brake hoses, and fork seals, which canarden over time irrespective of distance. Additionally, because the bike sat for long periods, the buyer should inspect for fluid leaks and internal corrosion within the fuel system or exhaust that may not have been captured by the standard MOT criteria.
