2016 Harley Davidson XL 1.2L Petrol · VA16 KVB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the latest MOT data. The most recent inspection on 30 April 2025 at 19,984 miles resulted in zero defects, indicating that the motorcycle currently meets all minimum safety standards. While a failure was recorded on 04 March 2024, the immediate re-test pass three days later suggests that the previous owner was proactive in rectifying any issues identified by the tester. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 2,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between September 2022 and March 2024, where the bike covered 13,000 miles in a relatively short window. However, the drop from 30,669 miles in March 2024 to 19,984 miles in April 2025 indicates the vehicle has sat for long periods. This pattern of use often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid chemistry rather than mechanical wear from distance. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage storage. Check for flat spots on the tyres, perished brake hoses, and surface corrosion on the brake discs which can occur when sitting stationary. Given the gaps between tests, inspect the fork seals for leaking and ensure the battery has not suffered from signs of age or deep discharge. The lack of structural advisories in the history suggests the frame remains sound, but the low mileage necessitates a thorough look at fluid-related leaks and perished rubber degradation.
