2013 Harley-Davidson Flhtk Eglide UL 1690 12 1.7L Petrol · HV13 CXW

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 17 May 2025 at 12,209 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the motorcycle remains in a good mechanical state. This trend of clean results across the last five years suggests that the vehicle has been well-maintained and lacks significant mechanical failures that would trigger a roadworthiness warning. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 939 miles per year. Between the March 2021 test at 8,544 miles and the May 2025 test at 12,209 miles, the bike covered only 3,665 miles, reflecting very infrequent use. While this low mileage limits wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid chemistry, which the MOT test does not always capture in detail. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage storage. Check for dry rot or cracking in the tyres, brake lines, and seals, as these age regardless of distance traveled. Examine the brake fluid for moisture contamination and inspect the calipers for seized pistons due to lack of use. Given the clean history, the structural integrity of the frame and fork legs appears free of corrosion, but ensuring the low mileage has not masked hidden rust in storage areas remains essential.
