2011 Harley-Davidson XL 883 L Superlow 0.9L Petrol · LD11 AEB

The 2026‑04‑27 MOT at 19,511 miles confirms the Harley‑Davidson XL 883 L Superlow is roadworthy, yet the rear exhaust noisy defect (8.1.1 (a)) signals a persistent fault that requires attention. Repeated passes with only minor defects across the last decade indicate a stable maintenance record, with no evidence of worsening mechanical condition. Mileage has risen from 7,165 miles in the 2014 test to 19,511 miles in 2026, a total increase of 12,346 miles over twelve years, or roughly 1,029 miles per year; the steepest jump occurred between 2014 and 2015, after which the annual increment fell to under 300 miles, and the identical readings in 2022 and 2023 suggest the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. A prospective buyer should therefore inspect the exhaust for the cracked link pipe recorded in 2017 and the noisy rear section in 2026, assess tyre tread and sidewall condition, examine suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or binding, verify brake discs and calipers for corrosion or sticking, and check the chassis and structural members for rust or damage.
