2002 Harley Davidson XLH1200 1.2L Petrol · FN02 JNF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean record in the most recent years. The latest MOT conducted on 19 March 2026 at 29,277 miles showed a pass following an initial failure for a non-conforming rear registration plate. This represents a cosmetic administrative correction rather than a mechanical deficiency. Since 2018, the motorcycle has passed consecutive inspections with no recorded defects, suggesting that the primary mechanical and structural components have remained maintained under the current period of ownership. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,220 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between March 2011 at 24,788 miles and April 2012 at 27,009 miles, where the bike covered over 2,200 miles, but since then the usage has become more consistent, covering 1,835 miles between 2022 and 2026. This low mileage coupled with long periods of standing often indicates a risk of dry rot and fluid degradation rather than mechanical wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of rubber components and fluid systems due to the low usage frequency. Records from 2012 to 2015 specifically flagged perishing tyre sidewalls and tyres worn to limits, which are common symptoms of age-related degradation when vehicles sit stationary. The 2012 test also noted a damaged front engine mounting and a noisy exhaust; while these were resolved, the buyer should verify the integrity of the engine mounts and check the exhaust manifold for leaks or internal corrosion. Additionally, the brake lines and seals should be checked for cracking or perished, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from internal decay despite a clean appearance.
