2009 Harley-Davidson Fxdb Street BOB 1584 09 1.6L Petrol · KR09 EUY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a reactive service pattern rather than preventative care. While it passed the most recent test in June 2025 at 17,190 miles, this followed a failure just ten days prior. The trend shows a persistent failure to address the exhaust system and braking components, which have been flagged in every inspection recorded since 2022. This suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they reach a point of failure during official testing. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 17,190 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 1,011 miles per year. The data shows significant gaps in testing, such as the two-year interval between the August 2022 test at 15,103 miles and the May 2024 test at 16,201 miles. Such low annual usage often leads to degradation of rubber components and seals due to age, which is consistent with the recurring reports of binding rear brakes and worn brake pads despite the low distance travelled. A buyer must closely inspect the rear artwork assembly, as the June 2025 failure highlighted an inadequately mounted caliper affecting braking performance. The recurring issue of a noisy exhaust since 2022 indicates a persistent leak or internal baffle failure that remains unrepaired. Furthermore, the front wheel bearings were noted as slightly rough running in the 2025 test, requiring a physical check for play or resistance to ensure they are not nearing seizure. Given the low mileage, also verify the condition of the tyres and fluid hoses for cracking, as these components age faster than they wear down on low-use vehicles.
