2007 Harley-Davidson Street BOB 1.6L Petrol · YN07 OXG

The motorcycle presents a stable and currently sound roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT pass on 15 January 2026 at 25,210 miles. That clean pass came immediately after a failure on the same date for excessive steering head bearing free play, indicating the defect was rectified promptly within the same testing session. The maintenance trend is therefore improving, with the owner addressing a critical steering component without delay. The preceding pass on 12 May 2025 at 22,597 miles was also clean, and the only other recorded failure was on 1 May 2025 at the same mileage for a worn drive belt likely to fail. Both the steering head bearing and drive belt were rectified before the May 2025 pass, suggesting attentive rather than neglectful ownership. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 2007 machine, averaging roughly 1,327 miles per year over nineteen years. The recorded intervals show a gap of approximately 2,537 miles between April 2024 and May 2025, then a further 2,613 miles to January 2026, indicating consistent but light use in recent years. There are no suspicious mileage reversals or rapid accumulation spikes in the record. The data set is sparse with only five tests across the vehicle's life, but the entries that exist are internally consistent and show no odometer anomalies. A buyer should inspect the steering head bearing in person despite the January 2026 pass, as the failure on the same date confirms the component was recently marginal and may have been replaced or adjusted rather than rebuilt to a long-term standard. Check for notchiness or notch feel at the straight-ahead position and any play when the front wheel is lifted. The drive belt flagged in May 2025 should also be examined for cracking, fraying, and correct tension, along with the pulleys for wear or contamination from oil or debris. Given the low annual mileage and potential for long periods standing, assess the tyre date codes and sidewall condition regardless of remaining tread, and inspect brake hoses, seals, and fork stanchions for deterioration from age rather than use. The motorcycle's structural integrity appears sound based on the record, but a close visual inspection of the frame welds and any corrosion-prone areas remains prudent for a machine of this age.
