2019 Harley-Davidson Flsb Sport Glide 1745 19 1.7L Petrol · RA19 XCB

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding specific mechanical and equipment defects. While it passed the most recent test in April 2026 at 9,212 miles, the tester flagged three faults including a missing seat belt, a noisy exhaust, and a binding front brake. This represents a regression from the clean record in March 2025, suggesting that mechanical issues are not being proactively addressed between tests. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old motorcycle, averaging only 1,316 miles per year since 2019. There is a significant gap in usage between June 2022 and March 2023, where the bike covered only 145 miles in nearly ten months. Such intermittent low-frequency use often leads to component degradation through flat-spotting, dried seals, and moisture-related corrosion, which aligns with the recurring brake-related issues noted in the inspection history. A buyer must inspect the front braking system specifically, as the record shows progression from fluctuating effort in 2022 to a binding condition in 2026, indicating a potentially sticking caliper or perished piston. The persistent noisy exhaust, which appeared in 2022, 2023, and 2026, suggests a loose mounting or internal baffle failure that requires mechanical attention. Additionally, the missing seat belt and previous issues with fairing components must be verified to ensure the vehicle meets basic safety and visibility standards beyond the MOT minimum.
