2005 Harley-Davidson Fxsti 1.4L Petrol · SN55 DFX

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent April 2026 test at 7,496 miles. This recent inspection recorded no defects or advisories, mirroring a consistent history of passes over the last decade. The data suggests the motorcycle has remained in a roadworthy condition without the mechanical failures or structural degradation typically seen in vehicles of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twenty-one-year model, averaging approximately 357 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between May 2017 and April 2026, during which the vehicle covered only 101 miles. While this low usage indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests suggest the bike has spent vast periods sitting stationary. The lack of mileage accumulation between 2017 and 2026 raises specific concerns related to static fluid degradation and rubber components rather than mechanical use. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection focused on issues associated with long-term storage rather than mechanical fatigue. Check for perished perished fuel lines, cracked rubber seals, and flat spots on the tyres despite the low mileage. Since the MOT history shows no defects, the focus should shift to surface corrosion on brake discs and seized calipers which often occur when a vehicle is not ridden. Inspect the fork seals for weeping and ensure the brake fluid has not absorbed moisture during the nine-year period of- total inactivity.
