2012 Harley-Davidson Fxdb Street BOB 1584 12 1.6L Petrol · HD12 ARM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a maintenance trend that has improved significantly recently. The most recent test on 27 August 2025 at 15,140 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, following consecutive clean passes in 2024 and 2022. This indicates that the mechanical issues previously plaguing the motorcycle have been addressed and the bike is currently being maintained to a standard. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,081 miles per year. There are notable gaps in usage that suggest the bike has sat for long periods or was used only for seasonal trips. For instance, between May 2022 and August 2024, the vehicle covered only 233 miles, yet it added 5,175 miles between August 2024 and August 2025. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it increases the risk of component degradation, fluid oxidation, and seal drying from inactivity. A buyer should pay close attention to the recurring faults noted in the history. The exhaust system failed in both 2018 and 2021 due to missing baffles and excessive noise, so ensure the current silencer is genuine and has not been tampered with or modified. The 2021 failure for tyres worn to the legal limit and a bent number plate bracket suggests a period where basic consumable upkeep was neglected. Given the low usage, a physical inspection must check for sidewalling on tyres, brake fluid age, and any corrosion on the brake discs, which are common on low-mile vehicles that remain stationary.
