2005 Harley Davidson Flstf 1.4L Petrol · KX05 GJO

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 27 June 2025 at 5,954 miles returned no defects or advisories, mirroring the results seen dating back to 2018. This suggests the mechanical components have remained within operational parameters without triggering any significant failures or structural degradation during the recorded inspection periods. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 21-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 284 miles per year. Between July 2018 at 5,530 miles and August 2022 at 5,944 miles, the bike covered only 414 miles over a four-year span. This indicates the vehicle spends long periods in stationary storage rather than being used for daily commuting. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain, engine, and braking system, it introduces specific risks related to the degradation of rubber components and fluid due to lack of use. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of components typically affected with long-term storage rather than mechanical wear. Check for dry rot in the tyre sidewalls and perished brake hoses, as these often fail despite low mileage. The brake fluid should be tested for moisture ingress, and the engine seals should be checked for leaks caused by gaskets drying out during idle periods. Additionally, verify the integrity of the frame and fuel tank for corrosion that may not have been flagged during standard MOT tests if the vehicle was stored in a damp environment.
