2016 Harley-Davidson XL 0.9L Petrol · LD16 OFK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 18 May 2026 at 15,402 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the most recent inspection introduced an advisory for a noisy exhaust. While the bike did not fail this test, the presence of the noise suggests a potential leak or a loose component within the exhaust system that requires attention to prevent a failure related to emissions or noise levels in the next inspection. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,540 miles per year. Data shows significant intervals of inactivity; for instance, the vehicle covered only 231 miles between November 2022 and May 2024, and just 104 miles between May 2024 and May 2026. This pattern suggests the bike sits stationary for long periods, which can lead to the degradation of rubber components, dry-rotted tyres, and fuel- despite the low overall mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the exhaust system to address the noise noted in the 2026 test. The 2021 test flagged front brake pads reaching the minimum limit, indicating that even with low mileage, consumables are reaching age-related limits. Given the long stationary periods, it is vital to inspect for brake caliper corrosion, brake fluid ingress, and perished suspension fork seals, as these issues often manifest when a vehicle is not used regularly.
