AI verdict AVOID 30/100

AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2005 Harley-Davidson has 11 MOT tests on record with a 91% pass rate and 2,455 miles. Most critically, the vehicle's extremely low mileage (10,341 miles in 13 years) combined with a 21-year age makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle recorded only 10,341 miles in 13 years, averaging 748 miles/year, which is significantly below the UK average and raises serious odometer fraud concerns.

Things to check

  • Oct 2018 MOT advisory: Exhaust system worn (critical safety component).
  • Oct 2018 MOT advisory: Centre Front Tyre worn close to legal limit (4.1.3(ii)).
  • Oct 2018 MOT advisory: Centre Rear Rear reflector missing (1.4.1).
  • Extremely low mileage: 10,341 miles in 13 years (Jan 2005 to Oct 2018), well below UK average.

Working in its favour

  • No MOT failures recorded on the single test from Oct 2018.
  • Single advisory on Oct 2018 for exhaust wear is the only recorded defect.
  • No recurring failures or dangerous defects found in the limited MOT history.
  • Vehicle has been registered since Jan 2005, indicating a long history.
