2010 Harley-Davidson Fxdwg 1.6L Petrol · FD10 OLN

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in April 2026 at 3,896 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reveals a recurring mechanical issue that remains unaddressed. While the bike consistently passes the test, the persistence of a noisy exhaust advisory indicates a chronic fault that the owner has opted to tolerate over several years. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 244 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between the 2020 test at 899 miles and the September 2021 test at 2,407 miles, representing over 1,500 miles covered in a year. This pattern of use suggests the vehicle sits for long periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components, dry seals, and fluid breakdown despite the low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the exhaust system, as it has been flagged in every test since 2020. This could indicate a leak, internal baffle failure, or mounting corrosion that requires professional attention. The 2024 test also highlighted both front and rear tyres worn near the legal limit, suggesting that when the bike is used, basic consumables are only replaced at the point of failure. Given the low mileage and long stationary periods, check specifically for tyre sidewall cracking, perished brake hoses, and seized caliper pistons. Inspect the structural integrity of the frame for signs of corrosion, as low-use vehicles often suffer from hidden rust in areas not regularly cleaned cleaned.
