  • Unexplained 3-year MOT gap: No test recorded for 3 years (Sep 2008 - Jun 2012) — critical for safety.
  • Mileage significantly below cohort: 13,415 mi total is bottom 10% for a 25-year-old HARLEY-DAVIDSON.
  • MOT expired 2019-05-25; vehicle is currently on SORN with no active MOT certificate.

Working in its favour
