2016 Harley-Davidson XL 1.2L Petrol · GP16 HLA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 22 May 2026 at 27,135 miles which carried no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory, moving from minor consumable failures in previous years to a clean sheet in the latest two inspections. This suggests that the current owner has addressed previous wear issues and maintains the vehicle to a standard that prevents mechanical degradation. At ten years old, the recorded mileage of 27,135 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 2,700 miles per year. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with a notable gap of 2,166 miles covered between May 2022 and May 2023, and another 2,171 miles between May 2023 and May 2024. While the low mileage reduces drivetrain wear, these intervals of vehicles sitting for extended periods can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and flat-spot despite the lack of mechanical stress. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyre condition, as the record shows a history of letting tread reach the legal limit in 2023 and 2024. Although the latest test was clean, the recurring faults indicate a previous habit of only replacing consumables when they failed. Given the low annual mileage, it is vital to inspect the brake system for corrosion on the discs and calipers, as these often seize when motorcycles remain stationary for long durations. Checking the fork seals for leaks and the suspension bushes for cracks will ensure that the low mileage has not masked hidden environmental damage.
