1997 Harley Davidson Flstc 1.3L Petrol · R648 LUB

The MOT history for this 1997 Harley Davidson FLSTC presents an exceptionally clean record, with five consecutive passes from April 2022 through to the most recent test on 21 March 2026. Each inspection recorded zero defects, indicating a stable and well-maintained mechanical condition with no emerging or recurring faults. The vehicle is currently roadworthy with no advisories to address. The mileage pattern shows consistent, low annual use, averaging roughly 500 to 800 miles between each annual test. The recorded mileage rose from 77,591 in April 2022 to 79,571 in March 2026, confirming a steady but minimal accumulation of around 2,000 miles over four years. This aligns with the vehicle's overall low annual average of approximately 2,744 miles across its 29-year life. There are no sudden jumps or suspicious gaps in the odometer readings, which supports a genuine low-mileage history consistent with occasional or seasonal use. Despite the clean MOT record, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on age-related deterioration rather than wear from high mileage. Rubber components such as fuel lines, brake hoses, and tyres may have hardened or cracked despite low usage, and the brake fluid should be checked for condition and moisture content. The suspension bushes and fork seals can degrade over time, and the exhaust system and frame should be examined for corrosion, particularly on a vehicle of this vintage. A thorough check of the electrical system and carburettor condition is also advisable, as these are common areas for issues on older Harley-Davidson models that may have stood for periods.
