2009 Harley-Davidson Fxcw 1.6L Petrol · DN59 ACX

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 15 October 2025 at 16,340 miles, confirming a stable and clean roadworthiness status. The record shows a consistent history of passes over the last four years, with no mechanical defects or advisories flagged by testers. The failed test on 13 August 2025 at 16,334 miles appears to be a procedural anomaly or a minor administrative issue, as the machine returned to a pass status just two months later without any recorded repairs or component failures. This motorcycle has covered approximately 16,340 miles over its 17-year lifespan, averaging less than 1,000 miles per annum. The data indicates a period of light usage, particularly between August 2022 and July 2023, where the bike covered roughly 2,200 miles, followed by a significant reduction in activity. The minimal mileage accumulation since July 2024, where only 105 miles were added over fifteen months, suggests the machine has spent extended periods in storage. Low-mileage motorcycles that sit for long durations often suffer from degraded rubber components, fuel system varnish, and internal corrosion within the engine and transmission. While the MOT history is remarkably clean, the lack of recorded advisories does not account for the condition of consumable items like tyres, drive belts, or brake fluid, which deteriorate with time rather than just mechanical use. A physical inspection must prioritise checking for perished sidewalls on the tyres, signs of fuel tank internal corrosion, and the condition of the drive belt, which can become brittle during long periods of inactivity. Ensure the engine starts cleanly from cold to verify that the fuel injection system remains free of blockages from stale fuel.
