2022 Harley-Davidson Fxrst L Rider EL DIABLO1923 22 1.9L Petrol · T1 XMA

A spotless testing record defines this 2022 Harley-Davidson FXRST Low Rider El Diablo: both MOT examinations on file, the most recent on 13 August 2026 and its predecessor on 15 August 2025, were passed at the first attempt with no defects and no advisories recorded whatsoever. For a motorcycle, where testers scrutinise steering head bearings, suspension seals, brake components, drive chain condition, lighting and tyre tread with equal rigour, two consecutive clean sheets represent a genuinely unblemished roadworthiness history. There is no pattern of recurring advisories, no corrosion flags and no failure-and-retest episodes to reconcile, so the documented trend is stable and favourable as far as the official record extends. The recorded mileage of 4,901 miles over roughly four years equates to approximately 1,225 miles per annum, which is modest even by the standards of leisure-oriented motorcycles. The two tests fall almost exactly a year apart with no gaps in the testing sequence, indicating the machine has remained taxed, tested and presumably road-registered throughout rather than being laid up off the road for extended periods. That said, low annual accumulation on a large-capacity V-twin typically means short, infrequent journeys, and the MOT record alone cannot confirm how the engine, drivetrain and braking components have fared between tests. The mileage figure itself should be verified against service invoices and any dealer stamps, since the DVSA data captures only two odometer readings. Given the absence of any flagged defects, buyer checks should concentrate on the areas low-use motorcycles most commonly reveal on inspection rather than on any specific advisory items. Examine the tyre sidewalls and tread blocks closely: with under 5,000 miles covered, the original fitment tyres may still be present, and age-related cracking or flat-spotting can occur even where tread depth remains legal. Inspect the front fork stanchions for pitting and the fork seals for any weeping, and check the brake discs for surface rust film or uneven wear lips that suggest the calipers have been standing. Spin both wheels to confirm the bearings run silently and check the drive belt or chain for correct tension and lubrication. On a test ride, listen for any notchiness or play in the steering head bearings when braking gently at low speed, feel for pulsing at the front brake lever that would indicate disc distortion, and confirm the engine pulls cleanly from cold without hesitation, since fuel system deposits can accumulate in infrequently used machines. Verify that all switchgear, lighting and instrumentation function correctly, as electrical connectors can suffer from light corrosion on machines stored for long stretches. None of these points contradicts the clean MOT record; they are simply the prudent verifications appropriate to a low-mileage machine whose documented history, while entirely clear, is also relatively short.
