Harley Davidson Flstf Fat Boy (2007)
2007 Harley Davidson Flstf Fat Boy
CarHunch analysed 120 real MOT records for the 2007 Harley Davidson Flstf Fat Boy. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2007 Fat Boy is a serious reliability concern: only 11.3% pass first time against the UK average of 80%, and petrol versions are even worse at just 4.1%. With zero dangerous defects recorded across 120 vehicles, safety isn't the issue—it's simply that these bikes fail MOT repeatedly, suggesting systemic problems with emissions, lights, or chassis components that don't get properly fixed between tests.
The median mileage of 1,930 miles is remarkably low for a 17-year-old machine, indicating these are mostly collector bikes or seasonal riders, yet they still can't pass MOT cleanly. If you're considering one, budget for a pre-purchase inspection by a Harley specialist and expect to spend several hundred pounds getting it MOT-ready before you can legally ride it.
What to check before buying a 2007 Harley Davidson Flstf Fat Boy
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.
