2015 Harley-Davidson XL 0.9L Petrol · OY15 NLO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT in September 2025 at 29,942 miles with no defects recorded. This represents an improving trend in maintenance compared to a period of significant neglect between 2023 and 2024. While the history shows multiple failures related to wear and tear components, the most recent test indicates that the previously flagged issues were addressed and the motorcycle currently meets the minimum safety standards. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 29,942 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 2,722 miles per year. This low usage pattern suggests the motorcycle has spent long periods stationary in storage. Between the tests in May 2023 and September 2025, the bike covered only 7,864 miles. While low mileage often reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, it increases the risk of rubber component degradation, fluid oxidation, and corrosion from the vehicle sitting idle for extended durations. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the areas that showed recurring issues or early wear. The March 2023 test at 22,019 miles revealed a steering headbearing that was notchy and stiff, a condition that should be checked for play to ensure the bearings have not deteriorated. The 2023 record also noted oil misting on both rear shock absorbers; these should be inspected for active leaks, as seals on low-mileage bikes often dry out and fail over time rather than through use. The braking system requires close scrutiny due to a history of front and rear brake pads reaching minimum limits in both 2023 and 2024. The 2023 failure also highlighted a slightly corroded rear brake pipe and pitted front discs, which warrants a check to ensure the corrosion has not progressed. Given that the drive belt and pulleys were flagged as worn in 2023, the buyer should verify the belt for cracking or fraying, as the low-mileage status has not necessarily prevented age-related degradation of these rubber components.
