2020 Harley-Davidson Flsb Sport Glide 1745 20 1.7L Petrol · GU20 JXM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT history reveals a consistent trend of deferred reactive maintenance. While the most recent test on 15 June 2026 at 12,513 miles passed, the tester flagged a noisy exhaust, a front tyre near the legal limit, and a rear drive chain sprocket. These issues have persisted across multiple annual tests, suggesting that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they approach failure thresholds during inspections. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a six-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 2,100 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between May 2023 at 10,191 miles and June 2024 at 12,257 miles, where the vehicle covered only 266 miles in over thirteen months. This low mileage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and seals rather than mechanical wear, which aligns with the recurring issue of front tyres reaching legal limits despite the low distance travelled. A buyer must focus inspection on the exhaust system, as the noisy exhaust defect has appeared in every test since at least 2023. This indicates a persistent leak, loose baffle, or failing internal bracket that requires professional attention. The nearside front shock absorber, noted for light oil misting in 2023, should be monitored for increased leakage to ensure the seal has not degraded to a full failure. Given the recent wear noted on the rear drive chain sprocket in 2026, a thorough check of the chain tension and sprocket condition is necessary to prevent premature failure of the drivetrain assembly.
