2009 Harley Davidson Flstsb 1.6L Petrol · LN58 HCC

The vehicle presents a consistent and stable maintenance history with no recorded failures or advisories across the available MOT data. The most recent test on 7 August 2025 at 7,549 miles returned a clean pass, indicating that the vehicle met all statutory requirements for roadworthiness at that time. The absence of recurring defects suggests a consistent level of upkeep or a vehicle that has not been subjected to harsh operating conditions. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 444 miles per year. The data shows a steady, albeit slow, progression from 4,680 miles in August 2021 to the current 7,549 miles in August 2025. This pattern is characteristic of a vehicle kept for seasonal use or long periods of storage rather than regular commuting. While the low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, such infrequent use can lead to secondary issues such as rubber degradation or fluid contamination. A physical inspection should focus on components that deteriorate through age and inactivity rather than mechanical wear. Given the low annual mileage, check the condition of all rubber elements including tyres, fork seals, and fuel lines for signs of cracking or perishing. Inspect the battery health and the condition of fluids, as long periods of standing often lead to moisture ingress in the braking system or fuel degradation. Check the underside of the vehicle for any signs of surface corrosion or structural oxidation that may have developed during periods of storage. While the MOT records show no issues with the exhaust or suspension components, a manual check of the brake lines and suspension bushes is prudent to ensure they remain supple. The clean MOT history provides a solid baseline, but the low usage profile necessitates a thorough check of all perishable components.
