2010 Harley-Davidson Fxdb Street BOB 1584 10 1.6L Petrol · B7 AEA

The maintenance trend for this 2010 Harley-Davidson FXDB Street Bob is stable and consistently clean. The most recent MOT, conducted on 15 April 2026 at 10,936 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This outcome mirrors every single preceding test back to March 2022, forming an unbroken five-year record of first-time passes with no advisories or failures. For a fifteen-year-old motorcycle, that pattern is exceptionally rare and indicates a machine that has been kept in a genuinely roadworthy state rather than merely patched up for annual compliance. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of low, steady use. Across the five-year MOT window from March 2022 to April 2026, the odometer advanced just 1,534 miles, averaging roughly 307 miles per year. The annual increments are remarkably consistent: 288 miles between 2022 and 2023, 351 between 2023 and 2024, 239 between 2024 and 2025, and 656 between 2025 and 2026. That slight uptick in the most recent year still represents minimal use. At roughly 684 miles per year across its full sixteen-year life, this is a low-mileage machine by any standard. Long periods of standing demand its own checks, but the mechanical wear profile from road use is clearly very light. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still inspect components that annual testing does not deeply interrogate. Dry or perished tyre sidewalls are a realistic concern given the low mileage and age, even if tread depth remains legal. Battery condition and charging system health deserve attention after extended static periods. Fork seals, brake fluid condition, and the condition of rubber hoses and gaiters should be verified, as age-related deterioration can set in independently of mileage. The drive belt and pulleys, along with swingarm pivot bearings and head bearings, warrant a physical check for play or stiffness that a short test ride may reveal but a stationary inspection might miss. Structurally, the frame, welds, and exhaust system should be examined closely for corrosion, particularly around the rear subframe and any areas exposed to moisture during prolonged storage. The clean MOT record suggests no significant corrosion has been flagged, but surface-level rust can develop between tests on a machine that sits for long stretches. A test ride at various speeds will confirm that the gearbox, clutch, and throttle response feel precise, as these are areas where low use can sometimes mask intermittent faults that a static MOT would not catch.
