2016 Harley-Davidson Fxsb 1.7L Petrol · GL16 LPU

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test on 26 May 2026 at 20,267 miles. The maintenance trend appears generally stable, though a recurring advisory regarding a noisy exhaust system persists. While the bike passed without major failures, the repetition of this specific fault across the last three tests suggests a persistent mechanical condition or a loose-fitting component that has not been fully rectified by previous owners. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 2,027 miles per year. Data shows a consistent but slow rate of accumulation, moving from 14,170 miles in May 2022 to 20,267 miles in May 2026. This pattern indicates the vehicle has been used sparingly, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain, brake components, and suspension bushings. However, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to flat-spotted tyres, perished seals, or the degradation in rubber-based components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the exhaust system to identify the cause of the recurring noisy exhaust fault noted in 2023, 2024, and 2026. Check for manifold leaks, loose brackets, or internal baffle damage that might be causing the noise. Given the low mileage, it is also vital to inspect the tyres for age-related cracking and to check the fluid levels for signs of moisture contamination resulting from low use. The lack of recorded structural corrosion or brake failures in the history suggests the frame and mechanical assemblies remain in good condition.
