2018 Harley-Davidson Flfbs Fatboy ANX 114 1868 18 1.9L Petrol · FL53 FBS

The 2018 Harley-Davidson FLFBS Fat Boy presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 July 2025 at 7,089 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 17 May 2024 at 6,671 miles. The history shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across five years of testing, indicating the machine has been kept to a sound standard. Recorded mileage sits at 7,089 miles over an eight-year life, an average of roughly 886 miles per year. The DVSA entries trace a gentle climb: 6,182 miles on 10 October 2022, 6,216 on 23 March 2023, then 6,651 at the failed test of 14 May 2024 and 6,671 three days later. A long gap separates the October 2022 and March 2023 tests, but annual increments stay low throughout. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of hard use or neglected consumables. One anomaly warrants a closer look. The bike failed on 14 May 2024 at 6,651 miles yet the tester logged no defects, and it passed cleanly on 17 May 2024 at 6,671 miles. Such a defect-free failure often points to a documentation or administrative error at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. The owner corrected it within days, so the episode raises no structural or drivetrain concern. A buyer should still carry out a physical inspection focused on typical low-mileage, long-standing risks. Check the suspension bushes, fork seals, and brake calipers for binding or fluid weep after periods of inactivity. Inspect the exhaust and frame for surface corrosion, and confirm tyre sidewall condition given the minimal annual rotation. The MOT data shows no flagged issues, but hands-on verification remains sensible for a machine with this usage profile.
