2008 Harley-Davidson Fxcwc 1.6L Petrol · RX58 CHG

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state based on the most recent MOT pass on 5 June 2024. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the record shows a consistent history of passes without any recorded defects or advisories. A failure on 4 June 2024 was resolved within twenty four hours, though the lack of listed defects for that failure suggests a minor administrative error or a trivial rectification. The mileage is exceptionally low for an eighteen year old motorcycle, averaging roughly 399 miles per year. The odometer reading remained static at 7,182 miles between the June 2024 test and the current date of July 2026, indicating the bike has been stationary for over two years. A significant gap in testing also exists between August 2018 at 6,787 miles and June 2024, suggesting a prolonged period of storage or lack of road use. Low mileage combined with long periods of inactivity often leads to specific mechanical degradation. A buyer should prioritise an inspection of the tyres for flat spots or perishing, as rubber compounds harden over time regardless of tread depth. The braking system requires scrutiny for binding calipers or internal corrosion within the discs due to the recent two year dormancy. Check the fuel system for varnish or gumming and inspect the battery health, as long-term standing frequently kills cells. The lack of MOT advisories is positive, but the inactivity makes a thorough check of the fork seals and general lubrication of all moving parts essential to ensure the bike has not seized or leaked during its time in storage.
