2004 Harley-Davidson Fxsti 1.6L Petrol · KX04 VTC

The vehicle presents a stable and consistent maintenance profile, with the most recent MOT on 25 April 2025 at 19,519 miles returning a clean pass with no defects. This follows a continuous string of successful tests dating back to 2010. The single recorded failure occurred in August 2020 due to a dipped beam headlamp malfunction, which the tester resolved immediately to achieve a pass on the same day. Aside from this minor electrical issue, the MOT history shows no recurring mechanical failures or structural advisories. The mileage pattern indicates extremely low usage for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 887 miles per year. The data shows significant periods of inactivity, such as the gap between April 2019 and August 2020, and the even longer interval between May 2022 and May 2024. While the low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and braking components, the recorded odometer readings show the vehicle has covered only about 1,179 miles in the last five years. This pattern of infrequent use often implies the vehicle spends long periods stationary. A prospective buyer should focus on components susceptible to degradation from sitting idle rather than heavy mechanical wear. While the MOT records show no issues with brakes or suspension, the lack of regular movement can lead to seized calipers, perished rubber seals, or degraded fuel. I recommend a thorough inspection of the tyres for age-related cracking and sidewall deterioration, as well as checking the battery health and fluid levels. Given the low mileage, the mechanical integrity of the engine and transmission appears sound on paper, but a physical check for corrosion on exposed metal and the condition of the seals is necessary to confirm the vehicle has been stored in a suitable environment.
