2021 Harley-Davidson Flhr Road King 1745 20 1.7L Petrol · GU21 OPK

This Harley-Davidson Road King presents a clean bill of health across its entire MOT history. The most recent test on 21 August 2025 at 6,882 miles passed with zero defects, and the two preceding tests on 10 April 2025 and 6 June 2024 also passed with no advisories or failures. The maintenance trend is stable and consistently strong, indicating a motorcycle that has been kept in sound mechanical order with no recurring faults. The mileage pattern tells a clear story of very light use. Over roughly five years, the odometer has advanced just 522 miles between the June 2024 and August 2025 tests, following a similarly gentle pace of around 275 miles in the prior ten-month window. Annual mileage sits at approximately 1,376 miles, well below average for a touring machine of this type. Such low accumulation raises the possibility of prolonged periods standing, which can introduce its own concerns despite the clean test record. A buyer should pay close attention to components that deteriorate from inactivity rather than use. Tyres with good tread depth may still carry date codes approaching or exceeding five years, risking perished sidewalls and reduced grip. Brake calipers and discs should be inspected for surface corrosion or sticking pistons caused by infrequent application. Fuel system integrity, including tank lining and fuel lines, warrants a careful check given the potential for stale petrol or ethanol-related moisture absorption during long stand times. The motorcycle's structural condition, particularly around the frame welds, fork lowers, and exhaust headers, should be examined for any signs of surface corrosion that can develop in damp storage conditions. Suspension seals and fork stanchions may show minor weeping from stationary compression. A short test ride will confirm whether the engine idles smoothly, the transmission shifts cleanly, and the charging system performs correctly after potential periods of disuse. The MOT record is reassuring, but a hands-on inspection remains essential for a machine that has spent more time parked than ridden.
