2006 Harley Davidson Fxsti 1.4L Petrol · LF06 XWP

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent MOT test on 12 August 2024 at 1,044 miles with no defects or advisories recorded. This consistent history of passing results across the last five tests suggests the motorcycle has not been subjected to significant mechanical stress or structural degradation that would typically trigger a failure during a DVSA inspection. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twenty-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 52 miles per year. Between June 2021 at 532 miles and August 2024 at 1,044 miles, the vehicle covered only 512 miles over a three-year period. This indicates the bike is either used very sparingly for short trips or has spent in climate-controlled storage for long intervals. While this limits the wear on the drivetrain, engine internals, and brake pads, long periods of inactivity often lead to the internal degradation of rubber components and fluid chemistry. A buyer must focus their inspection on risks associated with long-term standing that an MOT test cannot detect. Physical inspection should check for dry rot or cracking in tyres, perished brake lines, and degraded seals despite the low mileage. Because the bike has rarely moved, the buyer should verify the fuel system is not varnished and check for pitting on brake discs or seized calipers. Inspecting the suspension seals for leaks is also essential to ensure that the lack of use has not resulted in perished rubber or corrosion on the fork surfaces.
