The 2021 Harley-Davidson Street Bob 114 passes its first MOT 87.8% of the time, which is comfortably above the UK average of 80%, suggesting these bikes are genuinely well-built and reliable. With only 3.4% of vehicles ever recording a dangerous defect, this cohort presents minimal safety concerns for buyers.

At 3,944 miles median mileage for a three-year-old motorcycle, these Street Bobs are running light—well below what you'd expect—which partly explains the clean pass rate and low failure average of 0.14 per vehicle. The 0.5 advisories per bike flag minor wear rather than structural problems; when you buy one, ask the seller for full service records and get a pre-purchase inspection focused on brake fluid condition and tyre age, since these are the typical advisories on older Harleys.

What to check before buying a 2021 Harley Davidson Fxbbs Street Bob 114 1868 21

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.
