2015 Harley Davidson XL 1.2L Petrol · LD65 NUH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improvement following a period of mechanical neglect. The most recent test on 24 June 2026 at 19,273 miles passed with no defects, marking the third consecutive clean annual record since 2023. This indicates that the previous electrical and mechanical issues identified in earlier years have been addressed, and the motorcycle currently sits in a high state of operational readiness. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,752 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between October 2020 and February 2022, where the vehicle covered only 2,478 miles over sixteen months. While the low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components and seals due to inactivity. The consistent accumulation of roughly 500 to 700 miles in recent years suggests intermittent, short-distance use. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension components which have shown recurring issues. The tester noted play in the rear swingarm pivot and bearings in both 2018 and 2019, alongside a worn rear suspension arm pin bush in 2019. While these were not flagged in recent tests, the low mileage means these bushes may dry out or crack over time, requiring a physical check for movement to ensure structural integrity. Additionally, the exhaust system was flagged as noisy in three consecutive tests between 2018 and 2020; a check for leaks or internal baffle failure is warranted. The braking and tyre history also requires attention. A worn nearside brake disc was recorded in 2020 and tyres reaching the legal limit were noted in 2022. Although the bike has passed its latest tests, the buyer must verify that the tyres are not perished from age, as low vehicles often sit long without operation. Given the history of a stop lamp remaining illuminated incorrectly in 2023, a thorough electrical test of the wiring loom and switches is necessary to ensure no intermittent faults remain.
