AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2008 Harley-Davidson has 7 MOT tests on record with a 57% pass rate and 1,629 miles. The extremely low mileage and recurring emissions failures present significant concerns.
The vehicle shows very low mileage (1,629 mi over 18 years), but a 6,543 mi jump before Feb 2015 is unusually high and raises odometer integrity concerns.
Things to check
- MOT expired 2016-02-23; vehicle is currently illegal to drive on public roads.
- Extremely low mileage (1,629 mi in 18 years) suggests long periods of inactivity or potential issues.
- Recurring emissions failures (Feb 2014, Feb 2015) indicate potential underlying engine problems.
- Unusually high mileage jump (6,543 mi equivalent) before Feb 2015 raises serious odometer integrity concerns.
Working in its favour
- No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting the car has been off the road for a long period.
- No recurring major mechanical failures (e.g., brakes, suspension) are evident in the MOT history.
- The vehicle has a consistent, if low, mileage trajectory, showing no sudden drops or spikes.
