Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to the lapsed M
The most critical factor for a buyer is that the MOT expired in June 2023. You should negotiate the purchase price to account for the cost of a new MOT and any potential repairs needed to bring the bike back to road-legal standards. Ensure you verify the service history, as the MOT record only confirms basic roadworthiness at a specific point in time and does not provide a full picture of mechanical maintenance.
Check for any evidence of the bike being stored for long periods, which can lead to fuel degradation or battery failure. Given the age of the vehicle, ensure that all documentation is present and that the 1450cc engine starts and idles smoothly without excessive smoke.
Operating a 1450cc engine results in high fuel consumption, which is typical for large-capacity cruisers. Insurance groups for this model can be varied, but buyers should expect moderate to high premiums depending on their profile and security arrangements.
Annual maintenance costs for Harley-Davidson models can be higher than for standard commuter bikes due to the cost of specialised parts. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic servicing, are likely to be significant.
Because the vehicle has not had a recorded MOT since June 2023, a thorough inspection of the tyres is essential to check for perishing or flat spots. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the brake fluid is fresh and not contaminated.
Check the battery health and the condition of all rubber hoses and seals, which can degrade over time regardless of mileage. Specifically, look for any oil leaks around the 1450cc engine casing and check the chain or belt drive for signs of wear or lack of lubrication.
This 2003 black Harley-Davidson Super Glide is powered by a 1450cc petrol engine and recorded 23,286 miles at its last MOT in June 2023. The MOT records provided for 2022 and 2023 show passes with no defects recorded. Its current value proposition is contingent on its mechanical state after a significant period without a recorded test.
There is no aggregate MOT data available for the Harley-Davidson Super Glide to provide a statistical reliability benchmark.
