2015 Harley-Davidson XL 1.2L Petrol · YN15 TZX

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the history reveals a persistent but minor mechanical inconsistency. The most recent test conducted on 25 June 2022 at 20,865 miles resulted in a pass despite a recurring advisory for fluctuation in front brake effort. This specific fault first appeared during the June 2019 test at 8,387 miles, indicating a long-term condition that has not been rectified over the last three inspection intervals. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,900 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage data between June 2021 and June 2022, during which the vehicle covered over 9,400 miles. While low mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long periods between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or fluid contamination. The clean record from April 2018 suggests the bike was well-maintained during its early life with low mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front braking system to determine the cause of the fluctuating effort. This often stems from a sticking caliper piston, a contaminated master cylinder, or air in the lines. Given that this fault has persisted since 2019, it is vital to check for signs of uneven wear or scoring on the brake discs. Additionally, inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking or dry rot, as low-mileage vehicles that sit suffer from age-related rubber degradation rather than tread wear.
