Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2019 Harley Davidson Fxbb Street Bob 1745 19?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2019 Harley Davidson Fxbb Street Bob 1745 19?

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2019 Harley Davidson Fxbb Street Bob 1745 19?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

Based on MOT data from 183 vehicles, the 2019 Harley Davidson Fxbb Street Bob 1745 19 has a first-time MOT pass rate of 90.9%, indicating generally reliable for its class. Always check the full MOT history of any specific vehicle before buying.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2019 Harley Davidson Fxbb Street Bob 1745 19?

This Street Bob falls slightly short of the UK average with a 77.5% first-time MOT pass rate against the national 80%, suggesting middling reliability for the model year—though the 10.4% dangerous defect rate is mercifully low and shouldn't deter buyers. The median mileage of 6,429 miles is quite low for a 2019, indicating most examples are cherished rather than hard-ridden, which bodes well for mechanical condition.

With an average of just 0.38 failures per vehicle and 1.5 advisories, owners should expect relatively minor issues when they crop up—the typical problems are maintenance-related rather than structural. Before buying, request the full MOT history to check for any patterns; these bikes spend their lives parked as often as ridden, so corrosion and electrical gremlins matter more than wear.
