2020 Harley-Davidson Fxst Softail Standard 1745 20 1.7L Petrol · HD60 STU

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its last three annual MOT inspections. The most recent test on 08 August 2025 at 7,320 miles confirms the motorcycle remains roadworthy despite a recurring technical advisory. While the pass rate is consistent, the persistent presence of the same fault across multiple years indicates a mechanical condition that has not been fully rectified over the last three years. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a six-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,220 miles per year. Between the June 2023 test at 5,178 miles and the July 2024 test at 6,607 miles, the bike covered only 1,429 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle is likely used seasonally or sits stationary for long periods, which can sometimes lead to specific issues such as flat-spot tyres, degraded fuel, or corrosion of seals that are not always reflected in mileage figures alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the exhaust system, as the tester has consistently flagged a noisy exhaust under section 8.1.1 (a) in 2023, 2024, and 2025. This recurring fault suggests a loose bracket, a damaged internal baffle, or a leaking manifold that the owner has neglected to repair. Given the low mileage, it is also vital to check for signs of rubber degradation on brake lines and fork seals, as these components age through time rather than through mechanical wear.
