2020 Harley-Davidson Flde Softail Deluxe 1745 20 1.7L Petrol · P8 HDN

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a concerning trend of neglected mechanical components. While the most recent test on 30 August 2025 at 10,219 miles passed, the tester flagged both front and rear tyres as reaching the legal limit at 1.8mm and 1.9mm respectively. This indicates a reactive approach to replacing consumables only when they reach failure point rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,703 miles per year. Data from the September 2023 test at 5,847 miles and the August 2024 test at 7,618 miles shows consistent low-usage patterns with roughly 1,800 miles covered annually. This low mileage suggests the vehicle may have sat for long periods, which can lead to dry seals, degradation of rubber components, and fuel-related issues despite the low odometer reading. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the exhaust system, as a noisy exhaust fault has recurred across three consecutive MOT tests. This persistent issue suggests a loose internal baffle, a leak, or a mounting bracket that has not been properly rectified over years. Given the state of the tyres in the 2025 test, the buyer should also check for flat spotting or age cracking which is common on low-mileage vehicles that remain stationary.
