2015 Harley-Davidson Flhr 1.7L Petrol · SB15 UFL

This Harley-Davidson FLHR presents a clean and stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT, conducted on 27 February 2024 at 28,176 miles, passed with zero defects, indicating no current mechanical or structural concerns. The maintenance trend is stable, with the motorcycle consistently passing its annual tests. The only deviation occurred in the February 2023 test, where the tester flagged a slight fluctuation of brake effort on both the front and rear systems. This advisory did not recur in the following year's test, suggesting the issue was either rectified or remained within acceptable tolerance limits without worsening. The mileage pattern reveals exceptionally light use for an eleven-year-old machine. Recorded at 28,176 miles today, the motorcycle has covered roughly 2,561 miles per year on average. The MOT history confirms steady, incremental accumulation, with the odometer climbing from 17,007 miles in February 2020 to 28,176 miles by February 2024, a gain of approximately 11,169 miles over four years. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the recorded data, and the mileage progression aligns naturally with the annual test dates. Such low annual mileage typically points to seasonal or recreational riding rather than daily commuting. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should inspect the braking system in person. The 2023 advisory regarding brake effort fluctuation, although not repeated, warrants a practical test ride to confirm both front and rear brakes operate smoothly without pulsation, pulling, or uneven pad wear. Warped brake discs or sticking calipers can develop between annual tests, particularly on a machine that spends extended periods stationary. Tyre condition also deserves close scrutiny. Low-mileage motorcycles frequently suffer from aged rubber, sidewall cracking, and flat-spotting caused by prolonged standing rather than tread wear from use. Check the date codes on both tyres and replace them if they exceed five years of age regardless of remaining tread depth. A visual inspection of the chassis and exhaust system for corrosion is equally important, especially around welds, mounting points, and the exhaust headers where heat cycling and moisture can accelerate rust. The drive belt and final drive components should be examined for tension and signs of deterioration. Given the motorcycle's age and low usage, dried seals, stale fuel residue, and degraded hydraulic fluid are more likely threats than high-mileage mechanical wear. A pre-purchase inspection by an experienced motorcycle technician will confirm whether this example has been genuinely well-kept or merely underused.
