2004 Harley-Davidson Flstf 1.4L Petrol · HY53 DFV

This Harley-Davidson FLSTF presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile, demonstrated by an unbroken series of first-time test passes stretching back over a decade and culminating in the most recent test on 2025-11-06 at 4,474 miles with zero recorded defects. The maintenance trend is remarkably consistent, reflecting steady annual presentation for testing without any history of outright test failures or hazardous structural advisories. The machine averages roughly two hundred miles per annum, evident from the low recorded odometer reading of just 4,474 miles across twenty-two years of existence. This ultra-low mileage indicates very light recreational use rather than daily commuting, though sparse usage figures between the 2016 test at 3,160 miles and the 2018 test at 3,253 miles confirm periods where the motorcycle sat idle for extended stretches. A physical inspection should focus closely on consumable rubber components and friction materials that degrade during prolonged periods of inactivity rather than high-mileage wear. The MOT records highlight recurring consumable wear, specifically a rear tyre flagged as close to the legal limit during the May 2019 test at 3,432 miles, and rear brake pads noted as thinning during both the August 2022 test at 3,710 miles and the October 2023 test at 4,174 miles. Buyers must verify the condition of the brake discs, hydraulic brake lines, and tyre sidewalls for age-related perishing or cracking, alongside checking the exhaust system integrity given past advisories for excessive noise logged in May 2010 and May 2020.
