2017 Indian Motorcycle Dark Horse 1.8L Petrol · FN17 VAY

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 30 April 2026 at 16,352 miles returned no defects or advisories. This stable trend across the last five years suggests that the motorcycle has been maintained to an exacting standard, with no recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation noted during inspections. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,817 miles per year. Between June 2024 and June 2025, the bike covered only 26 miles, indicating very infrequent use or long periods of storage. A more significant gap of 1,040 miles between May 2023 and June 2024 shows a period of higher activity. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods standing can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid oxidation if not managed properly. Since the MOT record shows no flagged faults, a physical inspection should focus on items associated with low-use storage. A buyer must check for flat-spotting on the tyres, perished suspension fork seals, and potential corrosion on the brake discs or calipers caused by lack of use. Verify the brake fluid levels for moisture content and ensure the chain has not seized despite the low mileage. The clear history suggests the structural integrity remains sound, but the low mileage necessitates a close check of perishable parts that age regardless of distance traveled.
