1996 Harley-Davidson STC 1.3L Petrol · N486 ALS

The roadworthiness of this Harley-Davidson is currently stable, evidenced by a clean pass record spanning the last five years. The most recent inspection on 12 September 2025 at 23,533 miles confirms the machine remains free of recorded defects, suggesting a consistent standard of maintenance and mechanical preservation. The vehicle displays a remarkably low and steady usage pattern, averaging approximately 784 miles per annum over its three-decade lifespan. With no significant gaps in the testing cycle and a total recorded mileage of only 23,533, the machine has clearly spent extended periods in storage or seen only occasional seasonal use. This low-mileage profile typically spares the drivetrain from heavy wear but necessitates caution regarding the degradation of rubber seals, gaskets, and internal fuel system components which often perish during prolonged inactivity. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the fuel tank for internal corrosion and verify the condition of all hydraulic lines and brake seals, as these items often deteriorate regardless of low mileage. While the MOT history shows no recurring faults, the age of the motorcycle warrants a close examination of the suspension bushes and steering head bearings for signs of hardening or play. Check the integrity of the exhaust system and electrical wiring looms for any signs of perishing or oxidation that would not necessarily be captured during a standard roadworthiness test.
