2006 Harley-Davidson Flsti 1.4L Petrol · WX06 VHR

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 12 March 2026 at 13,125 miles. The maintenance trend appears largely stable, though a recurring advisory regarding a noisy exhaust has persisted across several years. While the motorcycle has passed without failures, the persistent nature of the exhaust issue suggests a mechanical eccentricity or component wear that has not been fully rectified by previous owners. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twenty-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 656 miles per year. Between March 2022 and March 2026, the vehicle covered only 1,219 miles, representing a very low rate of usage of fewer than 300 miles annually. This pattern indicates the bike likely sits for long periods or is used very sparingly. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluid chemistry due to age. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the exhaust system, as it was flagged in 2022, 2025, and 2026. The 2025 test also noted a slight fluctuation in front brake effort, which could indicate air in the system, a failing master cylinder, or uneven wear. Given the low usage, the inspector should specifically check for flat spots on tyres, perished brake hoses, and corrosion on the brake discs, which are common issues for vehicles that remain stationary for extended durations.
