2010 Harley Davidson Flstc Heritage Stc 1584 09

CarHunch analysed 100 real MOT records for the 2010 Harley Davidson Flstc Heritage Stc 1584 09. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2010 Heritage Softail has a first-time pass rate of 64.7%, significantly below the UK average of 80%, which means roughly one in three fail their MOT on first attempt. The good news is that dangerous defects are relatively rare at 14%, so while these bikes need more remedial work than average, they're not commonly unsafe.

The median mileage of 13,297 suggests these machines aren't being thrashed—they're weekend cruisers with modest annual use, which helps explain the reasonable dangerous-defect figure. Expect around 0.77 failures and 3.6 advisories per test, typically suspension and lighting issues common to air-cooled cruisers; budget for regular preventive maintenance and have a pre-purchase inspection focus on brake lines, batteries, and rubber components.

What to check before buying a 2010 Harley Davidson Flstc Heritage Stc 1584 09

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
