2020 Harley-Davidson Fltrxs Rglide SP 1868 20 1.9L Petrol · X7 HOG

A completely clean three-test MOT history leaves this 2020 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Special presenting an exceptionally tidy roadworthiness profile, with each examination since first registration returning a pass and absolutely no advisories or defects recorded against it. The most recent test on 26 May 2026 confirmed this pattern, following earlier passes in March 2025 and June 2023. While a motorcycle of this nature is not subject to the same breadth of structural and emissions scrutiny as a car, the absence of any flagged items on brakes, tyres, lighting, steering, suspension or exhaust over successive tests does indicate that the machine has remained mechanically compliant throughout its life and has not accumulated any test-recorded deterioration points that a buyer would need to budget for as immediate rectification work. With 6,624 miles recorded on a six-year-old machine, annual usage works out at roughly 1,104 miles per year, which is extremely modest even by motorcycle standards and is more typical of a weekend or fair-weather leisure machine than a daily commuter. The gap between the 2023 and 2025 tests, combined with the modest mileage accumulation, suggests the bike has likely spent extended periods stationary between rides. From a mechanical standpoint, this kind of low usage pattern on a modern V-twin demands particular attention to areas that suffer from inactivity rather than wear, as seals, fluids and electrical components can all degrade through lack of regular cycling. The relatively low absolute mileage does, however, mean that high-wear items such as brake discs, pads, drive belts, chain or sprocket sets and tyre carcasses are unlikely to be approaching the end of their service life purely on a mileage basis, and core engine, transmission and suspension components should have substantial mechanical life remaining. For a prospective buyer, the inspection priorities should shift away from wear-and-tear items and towards condition-of-dormancy issues. On a test ride, listen carefully for any irregular ticking, rattling or hesitation from the 1868cc Milwaukee-Eight engine on cold start, as sticking lifters or fuel system varnish can develop after prolonged standing. Check that both front and rear brake systems build pressure cleanly without sponginess or binding caliper movement, and confirm the operation of the linked ABS system through smooth lever and pedal application. The electrical system warrants particular scrutiny given the bike's complexity, so verify that the infotainment screen, all lighting functions, indicators, horn and the cruise control system operate as intended, and inspect the battery terminals for any signs of corrosion or trickle-charge dependency. Examine tyres for flat-spotting, sidewall cracking or perishing, as tyres that have sat loaded for long periods can deteriorate structurally even with minimal tread wear, and check the date code on the sidewall to confirm they are not aged out despite low mileage. Finally, inspect the cosmetic and structural condition of the bike thoroughly, paying close attention to the chrome and polished finishes for any pitting, the fork stanchions for the faintest trace of corrosion seepage that would indicate failing seals, and the under-belt or final-drive area for cleanliness and correct tension. Because the MOT record is unusually clean and provides no advisories to work from, any defects you uncover will be findings outside the test history and should be priced into your offer accordingly. A full dealer or specialist pre-purchase inspection is strongly advisable on a low-mileage motorcycle of this age to identify any dormant faults that the statutory test would not have examined in depth, such as brake fluid condition, fork oil contamination or the state of any internal drive components.
