2016 Harley Davidson Flhtkse 1.8L Petrol · PN16 GOJ

The 2016 Harley Davidson FLHTKSE presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 13 May 2025 at 43,661 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 24 May 2024 at 42,938 miles. The earlier failure on 17 May 2024 at the same mileage and with no defects logged points to an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault, as the bike passed seven days later without rectification. Recorded mileage sits at 43,661 against a ten-year-old machine, equating to roughly 4,366 miles per year. The DVSA data shows light and sporadic use: 38,922 miles on 15 October 2021, rising to 39,982 by 2 December 2022, then 42,938 at the May 2024 tests, and 43,661 in May 2025. A near eighteen-month gap separates the October 2021 and December 2022 entries. The sparse, clean record gives no evidence of rapid accumulation or neglected consumables, though long standing periods between tests remain plausible given the low annual figures. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension linkage, fork seals, and brake caliper operation, as low-mileage machines left unused can develop perished rubber components and binding calipers not captured in a pass result. Tyre sidewall condition and tread depth warrant checking, since the 2024 to 2025 annual mileage of under 750 miles suggests original or aged tyres may be fitted. The absence of corrosion or structural advisories in the record is favourable, but visual checks of the frame and exhaust for standing-water damage remain sensible on a bike of this age.
