2006 Harley-Davidson Fxdb Street BOB 1.6L Petrol · EU56 JGO

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent pass record over the last five years. The most recent test on March 21 2024 at 17,684 miles passed with only a minor defect regarding a shortened clutch lever. This represents an improvement from the 2021 test which flagged a broken clutch lever and a perishing rear tyre, suggesting that the owner addresses specific mechanical faults once identified. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twenty-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 884 miles per year. Between March 2020 and March 2023, the bike covered only 761 miles, indicating it is used sporadically or kept in storage for long periods. While this low mileage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, the infrequent use often increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber-based components and fluid-contamination. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the tyres and all rubber seals, as the 2021 advisory regarding a perishing rear tyre indicates that age is affecting the material despite low mileage. Check for cracking in the sidewalls, brake lines, and fork seals which often occur when vehicles sit stationary. Given the lack of recorded defects in the 2022 and 2023 tests, the structural integrity appears well-maintained, but the age of the frame should still be checked for surface corrosion to ensure long-term storage has not compromised the metal.
