2005 Harley-Davidson XL 883R 0.9L Petrol · WX05 AFZ

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT on 30 September 2025 at 17,888 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to October 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or used sparingly enough to avoid common wear and tear. The mileage is very low for a 21-year-old motorcycle, averaging roughly 852 miles per year. The data shows minimal usage over the last four years, with only 433 miles added between the October 2022 test at 17,455 miles and the September 2025 test at 17,888 miles. While the lack of MOT failures suggests a well-kept machine, such low annual mileage often indicates long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Check for perished rubber seals, cracked tyres, and potential corrosion on the frame or chrome, as these are common issues for bikes that spend significant time stationary. The absence of any flagged brake or suspension issues in the MOT history is positive, but you should still verify that the brake fluid is fresh and the battery has not suffered from prolonged inactivity. The single failure on 17 October 2023 was resolved on the same day, and the lack of accompanying defect data suggests a minor administrative or quick-fix issue rather than a mechanical failure. Overall, the record implies a conscientious owner, provided the physical condition of the consumables matches the clean paperwork.
