2014 Harley-Davidson Eglide 1.7L Petrol · OU14 MDZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive servicing regarding consumables. The most recent test in June 2025 at 33,478 miles flagged both front brake pads as being near the minimum limit, alongside a rear tyre worn to the legal limit. While the motorcycle passed, these recurring advisories suggest that the previous owner tended to replace only once they approach failure or trigger an MOT advisory rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 2,800 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between April 2023 at 28,823 miles and May 2024 at 32,684 miles, where the vehicle covered nearly 4,000 miles in fourteen months. This low mileage, combined with the 2024 failure for a nearside front tyre with insufficient tread, suggests the bike sits for long periods, which can lead to rubber degradation and flat spotting despite the low mechanical wear. A buyer should personally inspect the entire braking system, as the repeated mentions of pads reaching the end of their life in both 2022 and 2025 indicate the discs may be thinning or scored from prolonged use. Given the low mileage and age, the tyres must be checked for sidewall cracking and dry rot, as rubber hardens long before the tread wears out. Additionally, check for corrosion on the frame and fork seals, as long-term standing vehicles often suffer from environmental oxidation that standard MOT tests do not fully capture.
