2004 Harley-Davidson Vrscb 1.1L Petrol · VR02 AND

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by five consecutive MOT passes without recorded defects. The most recent test on 16 September 2025 at 2,854 miles resulted in no failures or advisories. This consistency across the last five years suggests that the mechanical and structural components have remained within functional parameters, meeting the DVSA minimum safety standards during each annual inspection. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 130 miles per year. Between July 2022 and September 2025, the vehicle covered only 159 miles, moving from 2,695 to 2,854 miles. This rate of use indicates the bike is likely stored for long periods or used only for very short trips. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, it often introduces risks related to fluid degradation and rubber perishation that a standard MOT test may not fully capture. Given the lack of recorded faults, a physical inspection must focus on the effects of long-term storage rather than mechanical wear. Inspect the tyres for flat spots, sidewall cracking, and moulding, as rubber compounds degrade regardless of tread depth. Check the brake lines for internal perished and the brake discs for surface corrosion from disuse. You should also examine the fork seals for leaks and the fuel system for signs of varnish, as these are common failure points on vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods.
