HARLEY-DAVIDSON FXBB STREET BOB 1745 202020 · 1.7L PETROL

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, passing its most recent inspection in March 2026 at 4,234 miles. While the motorcycle consistently passes tests, the maintenance trend shows a recurring mechanical issue regarding the exhaust system. The tester flagged a noisy exhaust in both the February 2025 test at 4,080 miles and the subsequent March 2026 test at 4,234 miles. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a six-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 706 miles per year. Between October 2023 recorded at 3,651 miles and February 2025 at 4,080 miles, the vehicle covered only 429 miles over sixteen months. This suggests the bike sits stationary for long periods. Such low usage generally limits wear on drivetrain components and brake pads, but prolonged storage can lead to flat spots on tyres, fuel degradation, and drying of rubber seals and hoses. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the exhaust assembly to determine the cause of the persistent noise. This could stem from a loose mounting bracket, a cracked baffle, or internal structural failure that has gone undetected elsewhere. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for signs of surface corrosion on brake discs and perished rubber lines that often occur during inactivity. The lack of structural defects in the 2023 test indicates the frame remains sound, but the recurring exhaust fault requires specific attention to ensure it does not escalate.
