1995 Harley-Davidson 1.2L Petrol · M412 KNR

An unusually sparse testing history and extremely low annual mileage define this vehicle's recorded roadworthiness profile. There is a significant seventeen-year gap between the recorded tests in 2008 and 2025, which leaves a vast period of the vehicle's life undocumented by official DVSA inspections. While the most recent test on 07 March 2025 resulted in a pass, the presence of an advisory regarding a noisy exhaust indicates a potential issue with the exhaust system's integrity or mounting. The recorded mileage of 4,111 miles over a thirty-one-year lifespan represents an average of approximately 133 miles per year. This exceptionally low usage pattern suggests the vehicle has spent the majority of its existence stationary or in long-term storage rather than in regular service. Mechanically, such infrequent use can lead to the degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluids that are not regularly cycled through their operating temperature ranges, despite the low physical wear on drivetrain components like the engine or gearbox. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the exhaust system following the advisory from the 2025 test. A noisy exhaust can stem from various issues, such as loose heat shields, perished exhaust manifold gaskets, or small perforations in the silencer or piping. During a test ride, listen closely for any irregular rhythmic thumping, loud rasping, or increased decibel levels that fluctuate with engine RPM, as these are primary indicators of exhaust leaks or structural instability within the system. Given the seventeen-year gap in official documentation and the extremely low mileage, a thorough check of all perishable items is necessary. Beyond the exhaust, pay close attention to the condition of rubber hoses, brake lines, and tyre sidewalls for signs of cracking or dry rot, which can occur even without significant mileage. Check for any signs of fluid weeping from seals or gaskets that may have dried out during periods of inactivity, and ensure that the braking system provides consistent pressure without any sponginess or loss of feel.
