2017 Harley-Davidson FAT BOB Fxdf 103 1690 17 1.7L Petrol · WM17 FCD

This Harley-Davidson Fat Bob presents a stable and largely clean roadworthiness record, with the most recent MOT conducted on 17 December 2025 at 3,675 miles resulting in a pass. The only defect noted was a noisy Offside Rear Lower Exhaust, a minor advisory rather than a failure, and the overall maintenance trend across the last five years is one of consistent, problem-free compliance with only low-level consumable and exhaust-related items appearing. The mileage pattern confirms exceptionally low usage for a 2017 machine. Between the December 2024 test at 3,353 miles and the December 2025 test at 3,675 miles, only 322 miles were covered in a full year. The annual accumulation has remained remarkably steady at roughly 350 to 400 miles per year across the entire recorded history, with no sudden jumps or suspicious gaps. This is not a motorcycle that has been ridden hard or neglected through high mileage; it has been lightly used and regularly tested. The recurring advisory for a noisy exhaust, appearing in November 2022 at 2,631 miles and again in December 2025 at 3,675 miles, points to a minor but persistent exhaust issue, likely a small leak or loose fitting on the offside lower section. A prospective buyer should inspect the exhaust headers, joints, and mounting brackets for signs of heat discolouration, gas staining, or cracking. The November 2022 test also flagged slight fluctuation of front brake effort, which at the time was not severe enough to cause a failure. Given the low mileage and the age of the machine, the front brake calipers, master cylinder, and fluid should be checked thoroughly for sticking pistons, degraded seals, or moisture-contaminated brake fluid that can cause inconsistent lever feel. Beyond the flagged items, a physical inspection should focus on tyre condition, suspension bushes, and chassis corrosion. A motorcycle covering fewer than 400 miles per year will still age, and rubber components such as fork seals, swingarm bushes, and tyre sidewalls can perish from age and UV exposure regardless of mileage. The low recorded miles suggest the engine internals are likely in excellent mechanical order, but the overall care and storage conditions should be verified in person.
