2015 Harley-Davidson XL 1.2L Petrol · OY15 LGU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline after several years of clean records. While it passed the most recent March 2026 test at 6,390 miles, it failed a test just 18 miles prior. This failure highlighted multiple critical safety issues, including a sticking throttle, a distorted front wheel rim, and a noisy exhaust, indicating that while the bike was previously well-maintained, mechanical and component fatigue has emerged rapidly during the most recent inspection. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 581 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between the August 2023 test at 5,666 miles and the April 2025 test at 6,089 miles, representing only 423 miles covered over twenty months. Such long periods of standing often lead to the degradation of rubber components, seals, and fuel system quality, which likely explains the recent throttle sticking and exhaust-related mechanical faults. A buyer must personally inspect the throttle assembly to ensure the sticking issue has been properly rectified, as this represents a primary safety risk that affects motorcycle operation. The distorted front wheel bead rim noted in March 2026 requires a close check for structural deformation or air leaks that could persist. Additionally, the exhaust system should be examined for cracks or loose mounting that caused the reported noise, and the low-mileage history warrants an inspection for perished tyre cracking or oxidised brake discs despite their minimal tread depth.
