2006 Harley-Davidson XL1200R Sportster 1200 1.2L Petrol · DX06 ABZ

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT pass results. The most recent test conducted in May 2025 at 17,992 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This trend suggests that the motorcycle has been maintained to a high standard and meets all current safety requirements without the recurring mechanical or structural failures typically seen in vehicles of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twenty-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 900 miles per year. Between September 2020 and May 2025, the vehicle covered only 1,803 miles, indicating very infrequent use or storage. There is a notable gap in the records between the April 2023 and September 2021 tests, where the bike covered just 404 miles over 19 months. While low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, it also increases the risk of component degradation caused by long periods of standing rather than use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas affected with long-term storage rather than wear and tear. Inspect the tyres for cracking or dry rot, as rubber compounds perish over time regardless of tread depth. Check the brake lines for perished degradation or cracking and examine the fork seals for leaks that often occur when seals dry out. Additionally, verify the frame for signs of corrosion in hidden areas, as low-mileage does not prevent environmental rust or moisture-related oxidation in damp environments.
