2013 HARLEY DAVIDSON FAT BOB1.7L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of consistent maintenance. The most recent test conducted on 14 January 2026 at 19,681 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the motorcycle currently meets all statutory safety requirements. This follows a period of three clean passes since August 2022, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have been maintained without recurring failures over the last four years. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,514 miles per year. Between August 2022 and July 2024, the bike covered 4,209 miles, while it added only 811 miles in the eighteen months leading up to the 2026 test. This low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine, and tyres, but it also increases the likelihood of long periods of inactivity. The data remains clean, showing no signs of rapid mileage accumulation or heavy-duty stress patterns typically associated with high-distance touring. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must focus their inspection on items associated with low-mileage storage. Check for rubber degradation on hoses, fuel lines, and fork seals, which can become brittle over time regardless of distance travelled. Inspect the brake discs for surface pitting or corrosion, as infrequently used braking components often develop surface oxidation. Since the vehicle failed a test in August 2022 before immediately passing on the same day, you should verify the current integrity of the frame and mounting bolts to ensure no deep-seated corrosion has developed during the periods the bike sat inactive.
