2014 Harley-Davidson Unknown 1.8L Petrol · L150 FFO

The vehicle presents a worsening maintenance trend regarding its exhaust system and braking components. While the most recent test on 25 April 2026 at 10,081 miles resulted in a pass, the tester flagged a noisy central rear exhaust. This issue has persisted through several years of testing, appearing as a nearside and offside noise in April 2024, continuing as a central rear noise in April 2025, and remaining present in the latest 2026 inspection. The mileage profile indicates very light use, averaging approximately 840 miles per year over its twelve-year lifespan. The recorded distance has grown from 4,732 miles in August 2018 to 10,081 miles in April 2026. While low mileage generally suggests less mechanical wear on the drivetrain, the data shows a significant jump in usage between March 2022 and April 2024, where the mileage increased from 5,567 to 7,590. The long periods of inactivity common with low-mileage vehicles can often lead to component degradation that is not reflected in the odometer reading. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the exhaust assembly and mounting points to determine if the noise stems from structural corrosion or loose fixings. The brake system requires attention as well. The offside rear brake showed fluctuations in effort during both the April 2024 and April 2025 tests. This suggests a potential issue with a binding caliper or a fault within the hydraulic system that may need professional diagnosis. Finally, the steering head bearings should be checked for play. Although the vehicle passed after addressing excessive wear in the March 2021 failure, it is prudent to verify that the steering remains tight and precise. Given the low annual mileage, checking for any signs of fluid leaks or perished rubber components from long periods of standing is also advisable.
