2012 Harley-Davidson 1200 Custom LTD XL CA 13 1.2L Petrol · WN62 WLK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record in its most recent inspections. The latest MOT test conducted on 20 May 2026 at 28,533 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed. This trend of clean passes over the last three years suggests the motorcycle has been maintained to a standard that satisfies current safety and environmental requirements. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,038 miles per year. Data shows significant periods of low use, for example, only 323 miles accumulated between February 2025 and May 2026, and just 313 miles over the preceding year. While this low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components, fuel oxidation, and fluid breakdown that an MOT may not fully capture. A physical inspection should focus on the areas previously flagged in October 2021 at 26,284 miles. The tester noted front brake pads near the minimum limit and a worn rear suspension arm pin or bush. Although these were cleared in subsequent tests, the buyer should verify that the suspension bushings show no signs of cracking or dry rot due to the age of the rubber. Additionally, check for surface corrosion on the brake discs and perished seals, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface rust when the brakes are not frequently triggered.
