2017 Harley Davidson Street ROD XG 750 A 17 0.7L Petrol · FH17 VPY

The vehicle presents a stable and exemplary maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at the most recent MOT on 30 December 2025 at 5,056 miles, roughly seven months prior to the current date. No defects were recorded during this inspection, nor in any of the preceding four tests. This consistent record indicates a motorcycle that has been kept in sound mechanical order, free from the recurring faults or advisories that often plague machines of this age. The mileage profile reflects exceptionally light use, averaging just 562 miles per year over its nine-year lifespan. Between the January 2022 test at 3,048 miles and the June 2023 test at 3,491 miles, the machine covered a mere 443 miles. The subsequent six months to December 2024 saw only 10 miles added. A more noticeable accumulation of 1,555 miles occurred in the twelve months leading to the December 2025 test, suggesting a recent uptick in usage. Such prolonged periods of minimal mileage can sometimes lead to deterioration of perishable components, such as rubber seals and tyres, through natural ageing rather than wear. Despite the flawless MOT record, a physical inspection must focus on the specific risks associated with low-mileage, infrequently ridden motorcycles. Examine the tyre sidewalls closely for age-related cracking and flat spots, as the rubber may have perished from standing rather than worn from friction. Check the brake calipers and discs for corrosion or binding caused by lack of regular use. Inspect the suspension bushes and fork seals for deterioration, and verify the condition of the battery and coolant, as long periods of inactivity can accelerate the degradation of these components. The structural integrity of the frame and welds requires a careful look, ensuring no corrosion has taken hold during its extended stationary periods.
