2004 Harley-Davidson XL1200R Sportster 1200 1.2L Petrol · WX54 AEK

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 17 June 2025 at 35,756 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to May 2022, indicating a vehicle that is maintained to a high standard and remains mechanically sound according to DVSA criteria. The mileage is very low for a 22 year old motorcycle, averaging roughly 1,625 miles per year. The record shows minimal usage over the last four years, with only 530 miles added between the May 2022 test at 35,226 miles and the June 2025 test at 35,756 miles. This suggests the bike has spent significant periods stationary, which often introduces different risks than high-mileage wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by inactivity rather than wear and tear. Check for perished rubber seals, tyre flat-spots, and potential corrosion on exposed metal surfaces or brake discs. The absence of advisories regarding brake binding or suspension stiffness in the MOT history is positive, but the low annual mileage warrants a close look at the fuel system and battery health to ensure the bike has not suffered from long-term standing. The single failure recorded on 9 May 2022 was resolved on the same day with no defects listed, suggesting a minor administrative error or a quick fix. There are no recurring mechanical trends or structural warnings in the data. The overall history implies a conscientious owner who has kept the vehicle in a road-ready state despite its limited use.
