2011 Harley-Davidson Flstc 1.6L Petrol · WX11 CSY

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2026-03-27 confirms it remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded at 10,078 miles. The preceding history shows an unusual double test on 2024-09-27—one pass and one fail—yet both occurred at the same mileage (8,662), suggesting either a rare administrative error or a temporary oversight in the testing process. Beyond that, the 2023 and 2026 tests at 8,248 and 10,078 miles respectively indicate a stable pattern of compliance, with no recurring advisories or failures. The absence of defects in the latest test suggests the vehicle has not experienced any significant mechanical degradation since the last inspection, though the double 2024 test warrants further clarification from the owner regarding the circumstances. The recorded mileage of 10,078 miles over approximately 15 years—roughly 672 miles annually—is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age and type. This suggests prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate degradation of components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and fuel system integrity due to stagnation. The gap between the 2023 (8,248 miles) and 2024 tests (8,662 miles) is particularly notable, indicating over a year of no movement before the 2024 MOT window. While low mileage typically reduces wear on high-stress parts, the lack of movement may have contributed to issues like seized suspension joints or degraded brake fluid, even if not yet detected in the MOT. Given the sparse fault history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension components—particularly rear suspension bushes and coil springs—for signs of perished rubber or corrosion, as these are prone to failure when left stationary. The brakes, though not flagged in the MOT, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle was stored without regular use. Structural integrity, particularly around the frame rails and subframe mounts, must be examined for corrosion or fatigue cracks, as these are critical for long-term safety. The double 2024 test also justifies verifying the vehicle’s service history for fluid changes, fuel system maintenance, and any documented repairs, as these are often overlooked in low-mileage vehicles.
