2015 Harley Davidson XL 0.9L Petrol · DS15 AAZ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following the March 2026 test at 9,937 miles, but the maintenance trend shows a persistent, unresolved mechanical issue. While the motorcycle passed the most recent inspection, the tester flagged a noisy exhaust, a fault that has appeared in every recorded test since May 2018. This indicates a long-term condition that has not been addressed by previous owners. The March 2026 test also introduced new advisories regarding light interference on the offside rear position and stop lamps, suggesting minor electrical or housing alignment issues that require attention. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 903 miles per year. The data shows significant periods of inactivity, such as the gap between January 2024 and March 2025, where the vehicle covered only 2,102 miles over 14 months. While low mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and suspension, the long intervals between uses can lead to secondary issues like perished rubber components or seized parts from standing. The jump from 6,775 miles in early 2024 to 8,877 miles in March 2025 represents the highest annual usage recorded in the history. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the exhaust system to determine if the noise stems from a loose mounting, a puncture, or internal baffle failure, given its seven-year history of being flagged. The March 2025 advisory regarding rear brake pads being close to the minimum limit suggests that braking consumables are reaching the end of their service life. Because the vehicle has been ridden sparingly, you should also check for signs of fuel degradation or battery health issues. Finally, verify the integrity of the rear light clusters to resolve the light interference noted in the most recent MOT.
