2011 HARLEY-DAVIDSON FXDB1.6L Petrol

The 2011 Harley-Davidson FXDB presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 2 June 2023 at 22,487 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Across the four preceding annual tests from June 2020 to June 2022, the machine also passed with no advisories, indicating consistent compliance with statutory standards over the observed period. The single failure entry dated 5 June 2020 at 17,990 miles carries no recorded defects, pointing to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage stands at 22,487 against an age of roughly fifteen years, equating to about 1,499 miles per year. The odometer advanced from 17,990 in June 2020 to 19,553 in June 2021, then 21,105 in June 2022, and 22,487 by June 2023, a steady annual increment near 1,500 miles with no gaps or sudden accumulation. Such low, uniform use suggests the previous keeper stored the bike for extended periods yet maintained it sufficiently to clear each examination without flagged wear. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of 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 clean record offers no evidence of corrosion or exhaust emissions issues, but structural integrity around the frame and mounting points warrants visual confirmation given the bike's age. Given the absence of recurring advisories across five years, the FXDB shows no worsening mechanical trend. The anomaly of a defect-free failure in 2020 reflects paperwork, not roadworthiness. Routine pre-purchase checks on tyre condition and fluid degradation remain sensible given the light usage profile.
