HARLEY DAVIDSON FXDC2007 · 1.6L Petrol

The 2007 Harley Davidson FXDC demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT test on 2024-08-17 at 22,381 miles, which recorded a pass with no defects. However, the entry shows conflicting statuses—both 'PASSED' and 'FAILED' listed for the same date and mileage—raising questions about data accuracy. Previous tests from 2023-08-15 (21,360 miles) and 2023-03-23 (20,052 miles) also showed no defects, while the 2018-04-12 test at 18,018 miles similarly passed. The lack of recurring mechanical issues suggests consistent maintenance, though the 2024 anomaly requires clarification. The vehicle’s mileage of 22,381 miles over 19 years equates to approximately 1,178 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This low usage could indicate infrequent riding or prolonged storage, which may lead to component degradation despite the MOT records showing no immediate faults. Notable gaps exist between the 2018 test and the 2023 tests, spanning five years with only 2,000 miles logged. Such slow mileage accumulation might mask wear on consumables like tyres or fluids, though no advisories were noted in the history. A buyer should inspect the bike for signs of prolonged inactivity, such as corrosion on suspension bushes, binding calipers, or degraded brake discs, which could develop without regular use. The absence of structural or emissions-related failures in the MOT history is reassuring, but the 2024 test inconsistency warrants verification with the DVSA. Checking the exhaust system for rust and ensuring the battery is functional would address potential issues from low mileage. Overall, the vehicle appears mechanically sound but requires careful evaluation of its storage history and component condition.
