2020 Harley-Davidson Fxfb FAT BOB 1745 20 1.7L Petrol · AY70 YHS

The vehicle remains technically roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection on June 2 2026 at 4,341 miles. The maintenance trend is stable but reveals a persistent mechanical issue across the last three testing cycles. While the motorcycle consistently meets minimum standards, the recurring mention of a noisy exhaust system suggests a long-term manufacturing defect or a loose component that has not been proactively addressed by the previous owner. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a six-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 724 miles per year. Data shows significant intervals between tests, such as the nearly twenty-month gap between the September 2023 test at 3,342 miles and the April 2025 test at 3,855 miles. This low usage pattern indicates the bike has likely sat for long periods, which can lead to specific issues such as flat-spotted tyres, fuel degradation, and internal corrosion despite the low overall mechanical wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the exhaust system to determine if the noise is caused by a loose mounting bracket, a damaged baffle, or a leaking manifold gasket. Given the low mileage, the inspection should also focus on signs of age rather than wear. Check the rubber components for cracking due to dryness, inspect the brake fluid for moisture content, and ensure the tyres have not perished from sitting. The recurring exhaust advisory indicates that the owner prioritizes passing the test over performing preventative repairs.
