2012 Harley-Davidson Unknown 1.7L Petrol · WM61 LDY

This Harley-Davidson presents a stable and well-maintained mechanical record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 11 June 2025 at 16,812 miles, passed with zero defects. This clean result is not an isolated event; it represents a consistent five-year trend of flawless annual tests, indicating a resolving or, more accurately, a stable maintenance history with no recurring faults. The mileage pattern reveals exceptionally low usage for a 2012 machine. With only 16,812 miles recorded, the annual average is roughly 1,201 miles. The data shows steady, incremental accumulation: 14,120 miles in May 2021, 14,906 in May 2022, 15,207 in May 2023, 15,474 in May 2024, and 16,812 in June 2025. The slight uptick in the final year (1,338 miles) remains within a normal range for light recreational use. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in the record. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must conduct a thorough in-person inspection. Low mileage can mask deterioration from long periods standing. Critical areas to examine include the condition of all rubber components—tyres, fork seals, and suspension bushes—which perish with age regardless of use. The braking system demands close scrutiny; check for binding calipers, uneven disc wear, and corroded lines, as motorcycles parked for extended periods often suffer from seized components. Finally, inspect the frame, welds, and any exposed metal for corrosion, particularly if the machine has been stored outdoors. The clean MOT record is a strong positive indicator, but it does not substitute for a hands-on assessment of age-related degradation.
