2021 Harley-Davidson Fxfbs FAT BOB 114 1868 21 1.9L Petrol · CV21 WGD

The most recent MOT test on 30 April 2025 at 4,460 miles resulted in a pass, though the maintenance trend shows a slight regression from the entirely clean examination recorded on 19 April 2024 at 3,469 miles. The 2025 test flagged three distinct advisories, indicating emerging wear that requires monitoring. The tester identified an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and slightly out of shape, a noisy offside rear exhaust, and front brakes indicating a slight fluctuation of brake effort. While the motorcycle remains roadworthy, these issues suggest the onset of consumable degradation and a potential developing fault within the front braking system. At roughly five years old with only 4,460 miles on the clock, this Harley-Davidson covers an average of approximately 892 miles per year. The recorded mileages confirm this exceptionally low usage; the odometer moved just 991 miles between the April 2024 and April 2025 tests. Sporadic use often leads to deterioration of rubber components and brake surfaces from prolonged standing rather than high-mileage wear. The offside front tyre wearing out of shape on a machine covering such short distances points to extended periods of static storage or infrequent, short journeys rather than aggressive riding. A physical inspection should focus heavily on the front braking system and the exhaust. The slight fluctuation of brake effort flagged in the April 2025 test typically points to warped front brake discs or binding calipers, which a test ride and visual check of the disc surfaces will verify. The offside rear exhaust advisory warrants a close visual inspection for failing baffles or corroded seams. Buyers must also assess the condition of the remaining tyres, as the out-of-shape wear on the offside front suggests possible suspension misalignment or steering head bearing issues, despite the low mileage. Checking the structural integrity of the frame and swingarm for corrosion remains prudent for a machine that has spent significant periods stationary.
