2016 Harley-Davidson Fxdls Dyna Lowrider S 1801 17 1.8L Petrol · LD66 CGF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, yet the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of unaddressed minor mechanical defects. The most recent test on May 27 2026 at 9,754 miles identified a new advisory for a slightly tight drive belt alongside a noisy exhaust. While the motorcycle consistently passes its inspections, the recurring nature of the exhaust issue across five consecutive years suggests the previous owner prioritised minimum legal operation rather than resolving underlying mechanical faults. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 975 miles per year. Between April 2022 at 7,543 miles and May 2026 at 9,754 miles, the vehicle covered only 2,211 miles. This low usage frequency often reduces wear on the drivetrain and tyres but can lead to the degradation of seals and flat-spotting components, as evidenced by the 2022 advisory regarding a worn front tyre despite the low annual mileage. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the exhaust system, as it has been flagged in every test since at least 2022, indicating either a leaking manifold, damaged internal baffle, or loose mounting bolts. The 2025 advisory regarding a stiff or notchy steering headbearing requires a physical check to ensure the bearings have not pitted from long periods of standing stationary. Additionally, the 2026 finding of a tight drive belt should be verified with a tension gauge to prevent premature bearing failure or excessive strain on the primary bearing.
