2020 HARLEY-DAVIDSON FLFBS FATBOY ANV 114 1868 201.9L PETROL

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in mechanical precision. The most recent MOT conducted on March 3, 2025 at 6,180 miles identified an advisory for slight free play in the steering headbearing. This represents a departure from the clean record of the previous inspection, indicating that the steering assembly is beginning to wear and requires attention to prevent it from becoming a failure point. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a six-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1030 miles annually. Between the September 2023 test at 4,660 miles and the March 2025 test, the bike covered only 1,520 miles over eighteen months. This low usage frequency suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods of time sitting stationary, which can often lead to the degradation of rubber components, fluid stagnation, and flat spotting on tyres despite the lack of mechanical wear. A buyer must physically inspect the steering head assembly to determine the extent of the play noted in the 2025 record. This should involve oscillating the front forks and feeling for any notches or resistance that indicates a worn bearing. Given the low mileage, the focus should also shift to the effects of long-term storage, specifically checking for cracking in tyre sidewalls, corrosion on the brake discs from lack of use, and the condition of the fuel and brake fluids which may have absorbed moisture over the years.
