2017 Harley Davidson Street XG 750 17 0.7L Petrol · J17 OBF

This Harley-Davidson Street 750 has maintained a consistent MOT pass record with no defects recorded across all five tests, most recently passing on 22 May 2025 at just 4,471 miles. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has undergone regular, if minimal, servicing aligned with manufacturer recommendations. However, the most recent test occurred over 14 months ago, placing it beyond the optimal 12-month MOT interval for a motorcycle. While no mechanical issues were flagged, the extended gap between tests raises questions about whether routine maintenance—such as chain tensioning, throttle response checks, or electrical system diagnostics—has been addressed since. The recorded mileage of 4,471 miles over nearly nine years indicates exceptionally light usage, averaging less than 500 miles annually. This pattern is unusual for a motorcycle of this age, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate wear on components like the fuel system, battery, and suspension seals. Notably, there are no MOT entries between July 2020 and March 2022—a gap of nearly two years—during which the vehicle accumulated only 411 miles. Such a prolonged period off the road increases the risk of neglected maintenance, including potential corrosion in the exhaust system or drivetrain components, as well as degraded rubber elements like throttle cables or brake hoses. Given the lack of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear items that are not routinely tested under MOT standards. Focus on the drivetrain, including chain stretch and sprocket wear, as well as the condition of the clutch and transmission. The suspension components—particularly the rear shock absorbers and front fork seals—should be examined for leaks or excessive play, especially if the motorcycle has spent extended periods stationary. Electrical systems, such as the ignition, lighting, and meter functions, warrant thorough testing, as these are not always comprehensively checked during MOTs. Finally, inspect the frame and fuel tank for signs of corrosion, particularly around the welds and mounting points, given the vehicle’s age and the potential for moisture accumulation during storage.
