2015 Harley-Davidson 1200 1.2L Petrol · SB15 UFP

The 2015 Harley-Davidson 1200 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a fully clean MOT pass on 22 May 2026 at 7,385 miles with zero defects recorded. That is a marked improvement over the 2021 test on 11 June 2021 at 6,639 miles, where the tester flagged a slightly loose drive belt guard under item 6.1.7 (i). The absence of any defects in the four subsequent tests, including the most recent one just under a month ago, indicates the belt guard issue was addressed and has not recurred. There are no recurring faults, no corrosion advisories, and no progressive mechanical deterioration visible in the record. The trajectory is clearly resolving and now stable. The mileage profile is unusually low for an 11-year-old motorcycle. Across the full MOT history, the odometer has moved from 6,639 miles in June 2021 to 7,385 miles in May 2026, a gain of only 746 miles over nearly five years. Annualised across the vehicle's life, that equates to roughly 671 miles per year. The gaps between tests are consistent with light, seasonal use rather than daily commuting. A jump of 173 miles appeared between the June 2022 test at 6,919 miles and the June 2023 test at 7,155 miles, the largest single-year increase in the record, but even that remains modest. No sudden spikes or suspicious drops suggest the mileage history is genuine and the odometer has not been tampered with. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still carry out a physical inspection focused on components that deteriorate with age and standing use rather than mileage. The drive belt and its guard deserve close attention given the 2021 advisory, checking belt tension, alignment, and that the guard is secure with no cracked mounting points. Tyres should be examined for sidewall cracking and date codes, as rubber perishes over time regardless of tread depth. Brake discs, hoses, and fluid condition warrant inspection since prolonged standing can cause localised corrosion on disc surfaces and moisture absorption in hydraulic fluid. Fork seals, suspension bushes, and swingarm bearings should be checked for dryness or play. Fuel system integrity, including tank internal condition and fuel line degradation, is also relevant on a machine that may have sat for extended periods between the sparse mileage gains.
