2003 Harley-Davidson XL1200R 1.2L Petrol · WX53 WLP

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a consistent history of passing inspections. The most recent test on 28 October 2025 at 39,574 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester flagged the central rear tyre as being worn close to the legal 1.6mm limit. Aside from this single advisory regarding consumable wear, the MOT record shows no recorded defects or mechanical failures for several years. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2003 model, averaging approximately 1,721 miles per year over its lifespan. The data shows a very steady progression, with the vehicle covering roughly 1,000 to 2,000 miles annually between 2008 and 2025. A significant four-year gap in testing exists between the 13 October 2022 test at 34,290 miles and the 03 October 2023 test at 35,803 miles, though the continuity of the record suggests the vehicle remained in use or was maintained during this period. A prospective buyer should focus on the immediate replacement of the rear tyre to ensure compliance and safety. Because the motorcycle has been used sparingly, a physical inspection should prioritise checking for signs of degradation caused by long periods of standing, such as perished rubber seals, seized brake calipers, or fuel system contamination. While the MOT history is exceptionally clean regarding structural integrity and braking systems, the low annual mileage means components like suspension seals and battery health warrant close scrutiny.
