2013 HARLEY DAVIDSON FAT BOB1.7L Petrol

The 2013 Harley Davidson Fat Bob presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 March 2026 at 25,997 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes from 2023 to 2025 also carried zero advisories. The single failure logged on 6 February 2024 at 22,280 miles shows no defects against it, indicating an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. The recorded mileage of 25,997 against a 13-year-old machine equates to roughly 2,000 miles per year, confirming very light use. The odometer moved from 21,810 on 12 October 2023 to 22,280 by 6 February 2024, then climbed steadily to 25,189 by 13 March 2025 and 25,997 by March 2026. No large gaps or sudden accumulation appear; the sparse but clean record suggests the machine has spent long periods stationary between short riding seasons. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of the suspension bushes, fork seals, and brake calipers, as low-mileage machines left standing often develop perished rubber and seized components unseen by the annual test. The absence of corrosion or exhaust advisories across the record is encouraging, yet the 2024 duplicate test entry warrants a check of the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm no suppressed defect data exists. Given the clean advisory history, previous keepers appear to have stored the bike under reasonable conditions and addressed basic compliance. The Fat Bob's low annual use means consumable wear is minimal, but standing time remains the chief risk to structural integrity and mechanical freedom.
