2013 Harley-Davidson Vrscf V-ROD Muscle 1247 13 1.2L Petrol · SN13 KHD

This Harley-Davidson VRSCF has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend over its MOT history, with both tests conducted in 2022 and 2023 resulting in clean passes and no recorded defects. The most recent inspection on 20 July 2023—just over a year ago—confirmed no advisories or failings, suggesting the vehicle met all DVSA standards at that time. However, the absence of any recorded issues does not preclude underlying wear that may not have been visually apparent during testing, particularly in areas like suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers, which are common points of failure in high-mileage motorcycles. The recorded mileage of 9,713 miles over approximately 13 years—roughly 747 miles annually—indicates exceptionally light usage for a vehicle of this age. Such low mileage could imply prolonged periods of storage, which may have contributed to potential degradation in rubber components (tyres, suspension seals) or corrosion in critical areas like the frame or exhaust system. The gap between tests—14 months between 2022 and 2023—is standard for MOT cycles, but the lack of intermediate maintenance records means no verification exists for servicing intervals or consumable replacements (e.g., brake pads, chain tension). Given the sparse MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of suspension integrity, focusing on worn or cracked rubber mounts and coil springs, as these are often overlooked in low-mileage bikes. The braking system—particularly rear calipers and discs—should be checked for uneven wear or binding, despite no recorded faults. Structural corrosion, especially around the frame, exhaust heat shields, and undercarriage, warrants scrutiny, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate rust formation. While the MOT record suggests no immediate failings, these areas demand attention to ensure long-term reliability.
