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

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status as evidenced by its most recent MOT pass in May 2026 at 5,691 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though it reveals a persistent and recurring issue regarding the exhaust system. While the vehicle consistently passes the inspections, the repeated flagging of a noisy exhaust across the last three consecutive tests indicates a known mechanical characteristic or a degrading component that has not been addressed or rectified by previous owners. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 813 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between the February 2022 test at 1,672 miles and the September 2023 test at 2,923 miles, where the bike covered barely a thousand miles over seventeen months. This low-frequency use suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain components and brake pads, but it also increases risks associated with flat-spotting, dry seals, and fluid degradation due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the exhaust system to determine the cause of the recurring noise noted by the tester. Check for a loose exhaust manifold, cracked brackets, or internal baffle failure that may be causing the vibration or noise without failing emissions. Given the low mileage, it is also vital to inspect the tyres for age-related cracking and verify the brake fluid for moisture content, as these components suffer more from vehicles that sit stationary for long periods compared to those used regularly.
