2020 Harley-Davidson Flhrxs Road King SP 1868 20 1.9L Petrol · RD04 HOG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a period of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent MOT test in April 2026 at 18,908 miles resulted in a pass despite flagging a noisy rear exhaust. This follows a significant failure in May 2025 where multiple mechanical and lighting defects were identified. While the bike has passed its most recent tests, the history suggests the previous owner only addressed critical issues when forced by an inspection failure. The mileage profile is consistently low for a six-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 3,150 miles per year. There is a notable usage spike between February 2023 at 7,993 miles and May 2024 at 14,428 miles, where the bike covered over 6,400 miles in just fifteen months. Since then, usage has slowed down again. Low annual mileage on a motorcycle can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluid quality if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer must inspect the braking system in detail, as the May 2025 failure revealed the offside front brake pads were below the 1.0mm legal limit and the nearside pads were near exhaustion. Although these were likely replaced before the subsequent pass, the condition of the discs should be checked for uneven wear or glazing. The noisy exhaust noted in April 2026 also requires a physical inspection to check for loose brackets, heat shields, or internal baffle damage that could worsen over time. Additionally, verify that the registration plate and reflectors mentioned in the 2025 failure are now fully compliant and secure.
