2016 Harley Davidson 1200 1.2L Petrol · LE16 WSK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a recurring trend of avoidable minor mechanical failures. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 21,212 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure for freeplay in the swinging arm bush and bearing area alongside a missing rear reflector. This indicates that while the owner addresses faults once they are flagged, there is a lack of proactive maintenance regarding pivot points and external trim hardware. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 2,120 miles per year. Between May 2023 at 18,169 miles and June 2024 at 20,493 miles, the bike covered just over 2,300 miles in a year. This low usage suggests the vehicle has been stored regularly, but long periods of standing often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components such as bushes and seals, which aligns with the issues found in the swinging arm. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the swinging arm and associated bearings, as this area has failed in both the 2024 and 2025 tests. The previous failure for a noisy exhaust at 20,493 miles suggests the system may suffer from loose mounting or internal baffle damage due to age. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also check for flat spots on tyres and fluid ingress in seals, as these are common symptoms for vehicles that sit stationary relative to the distance traversed.
