2020 Harley-Davidson Flhr Road King 1745 20 1.7L Petrol · SA70 ZPE

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a stable trend of recurring minor mechanical defects. The most recent test in September 2025 at 14,351 miles passed despite persistent notes regarding brake performance. While the motorcycle consistently passes inspections, the repetition of specific advisories across multiple years suggests that certain mechanical issues are being monitored rather than fully rectified by the owner's service regime. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 2,400 miles per year. Between the 2023 test at 8,066 miles and the 2024 test at 11,307 miles, the bike covered 3,241 miles. This low-usage pattern indicates the vehicle has been used seasonally or intermittently. Long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components, fluid ingress, and surface corrosion on braking hardware which may account for the issues recorded. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system to address the recurring fluctuations in brake effort noted in both 2024 and 2025. This symptom often indicates uneven wear on the brake discs or air trapped in the hydraulic lines. The tester also flagged a noisy exhaust in 2023 and 2025, which warrants a check for loose mounting bolts or internal baffle damage within the system. Given the low mileage, verify the condition of the tyres for flat spotting and check the fork seals for signs of drying due to age rather than use.
