2009 Harley Davidson Flstsb 1.6L Petrol · LX58 LPU

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean recent history. The most recent MOT test on 5 September 2024 at 20,414 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passes since 2022, indicating that any previous mechanical or electrical issues have been addressed and the vehicle is currently maintaining a high standard of roadworthiness. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a 2009 model, averaging approximately 1,201 miles per year. The data shows very gradual increases, such as the 80-mile increment between the October 2022 and October 2023 tests. While this low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and consumables, such long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to secondary issues like perished rubber components or fluid degradation. The record shows the vehicle has consistently remained around the 20,000-mile mark for the last several years. The history identifies a recurring issue with a noisy exhaust, which was flagged in both the October 2020 and October 2021 tests. Although the vehicle passed without this advisory in more recent years, a physical inspection of the exhaust system, mounting brackets, and manifold integrity is necessary to ensure the noise was resolved rather than simply becoming less audible. A single failure in October 2018 regarding a non-functional rear position lamp appears to have been a minor electrical fix that did not impact the long-term mechanical trend. A prospective buyer should focus on components susceptible to age-related degradation due to low usage. Specifically, inspect the condition of the tyres for flat spots or cracking, check the battery health, and examine all rubber seals and suspension bushes for signs of perishing. While the MOT record is clean, the lack of significant mileage means the vehicle has likely spent much of its life stationary, making a thorough check of fluid levels and potential corrosion on exposed metal surfaces a priority.
