2017 Harley-Davidson XL 883 N Iron 17 0.9L Petrol · LB66 DNJ

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 28 March 2026 at 7,104 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This reflects a stable maintenance trend over the last five years, suggesting that the motorcycle has remained within acceptable operating parameters without triggering mechanical or structural failures during the annual inspections. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 789 miles per year. Between April 2022 and March 2026, the vehicle covered only 3,180 miles, moving from 3,924 to 7,104 miles. This low usage frequency indicates the bike is likely used seasonally or kept in storage for long periods. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components that an MOT test may not fully capture. Because the MOT record shows no recurring mechanical faults, a buyer should focus on physical signs of low-mileage stationary degradation. In-person inspection should target dry rot in the tyre sidewalls, cracking in rubber hoses, and the corrosion of brake lines or fork seals due to moisture ingress while parked. Additionally, check for fluid leaks around the engine gaskets and forks, as seals can dry out and fail when a vehicle is not regularly exercised. The clean history suggests the structural integrity remains sound, but the low mileage necessitates a close look at age-related consumables.
