2015 Harley-Davidson XL 1.2L Petrol · DP15 WRA

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status as evidenced by its most recent MOT pass on 22 May 2026 at 592 miles. While the overall trend remains stable, there is a recurring mechanical concern regarding the exhaust system. The tester flagged a noisy exhaust in both the May 2026 and May 2025 tests, indicating a persistent issue such as a mounting failure or internal baffle failure that has not been rectified despite the vehicle passing the overall safety criteria. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 54 miles per year. Between August 2022 and August 2024, the vehicle covered only 23 miles, while a more significant but of 83 miles occurred between August 2024 and May 2026. This remains well below typical annual usage patterns. This pattern suggests the bike sits stationary for long periods, which can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, seals, and fluid integrity despite the low mechanical wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the exhaust system to identify the source of the reported noise, checking for loose brackets, manifold leaks, or perished gaskets. Given the long periods of inactivity, specific attention is required to check for flat spots on the tyres, seized brake calipers, and perished fuel lines. Inspect the frame and tank for signs of corrosion or internal rust in the tank, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from moisture accumulation that is not prevented by regular use.
