2002 Harley-Davidson Fxstb 1.4L Petrol · LL02 AAF

The most recent MOT entry on 23 March 2026 records a failure at 11 757 miles, meaning the vehicle is not currently roadworthy despite the absence of recorded defects. The preceding tests in April 2025, April 2024 and March 2023 all passed without issues, indicating a generally stable maintenance pattern. The sudden failure on the same day as a pass suggests a possible administrative anomaly, but the lack of specific fault codes means the cause remains unclear. Mileage accumulation over the vehicle’s life shows a low overall usage rate, roughly 490 miles per year, which is typical for a lightly‑used classic. The progression from 11 195 miles in March 2023 to 11 234 miles in April 2024 added only 39 miles, reflecting minimal wear. A more pronounced jump occurred between April 2024 and April 2025, where mileage rose by 463 miles, hinting at a period of increased activity or a possible odometer adjustment. The final six‑month interval to March 2026 added just 60 miles, confirming the low‑mileage trend. A prospective buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or wear, check the brake calipers for binding and the discs for uneven wear, and examine the exhaust system for corrosion or exhaust emissions exceedances. Structural integrity around the frame and rear subframe should be assessed for rust or deformation, and the tyres should be measured for tread depth and uneven wear. A thorough visual check of the drivetrain mounts and any signs of oil leaks will also be prudent, given the vehicle’s age and the recent MOT failure.
