2016 Harley-Davidson Flstn 1.7L Petrol · J55 BYK

The motorcycle remains roadworthy, though the latest MOT on 28 May 2026 records a failure for a non‑conforming rear registration plate and a persistent advisory on exhaust noise. The pass at the same mileage (4,856 mi) indicates that, apart from the plate issue, the vehicle met the required standards. The recurring 8.1.1 (a) advisory each year shows a stable, unresolved condition rather than a worsening trend. Mileage totals 4,856 mi after ten years, averaging roughly 486 mi per year. The log shows a gradual increase from 3,472 mi in April 2023 to 4,318 mi in May 2025, then to the current 4,856 mi in May 2026, with no sudden spikes. Such low utilisation suggests limited wear on consumables and a likely gentle use pattern; the data set is sparse but clean, with no recorded rapid accumulation. A prospective buyer should give the exhaust system a thorough visual and acoustic inspection, confirming that the noisy condition does not mask a leak or failing muffler that could affect emissions compliance. The rear registration plate must be replaced or corrected to meet the 0.1 (d) specification. Although no brakes, tyres, or suspension faults appear in the record, a standard check of brake discs, caliper operation, tyre tread depth, and suspension bushes is advisable to rule out hidden wear that low mileage may conceal. A careful assessment of the chassis for corrosion, especially around the frame joints, will complete the due‑diligence before purchase.
