2013 Harley Davidson Fxdba 1.7L Petrol · SB13 AEX

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 23 May 2025 at 1,246 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2020, suggesting the motorcycle has been maintained to a standard that satisfies DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2013 model, averaging roughly 96 miles per year. Between 22 May 2023 and 23 May 2025, the odometer only increased by 22 miles. This extreme lack of use indicates the bike has spent significant periods standing. While the record shows no technical failures, such low activity often leads to secondary issues not always captured in a brief MOT inspection. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by stagnation rather than wear. Check for perished tyres and degraded brake fluid, as the low mileage suggests these consumables may be aged regardless of their remaining tread or thickness. Inspect the fuel system for varnish or gumming and check the battery health, as long periods of inactivity frequently lead to cell failure. Examine the chassis and exposed metal for surface corrosion or pitting, which can occur during long-term storage in damp environments. While the MOT history is flawless, the lack of mechanical stress means the engine and drivetrain have not been fully exercised. A thorough check of the oil condition and a cold-start test are recommended to ensure the seals and gaskets have not dried out.
