Harley Davidson Fxcwc (2009)
2009 Harley Davidson Fxcwc
CarHunch analysed 119 real MOT records for the 2009 Harley Davidson Fxcwc. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2009 Harley Davidson FXCWC posts a 90.7% first-time pass rate, comfortably ahead of the UK average of 80%, suggesting these cruisers are well-maintained overall. The 13.5% rate of dangerous defects is moderate and not a major red flag, though buyers should still budget for a pre-purchase inspection.
These bikes are running light mileage for their age—a median of just 6,556 miles—which typically means garage queens rather than hard-ridden machines, and that shows in the low 1.01 average failures per test. The high advisory count of 5.2 per vehicle points to minor wear items rather than structural problems, so expect small maintenance costs but nothing catastrophic; have a mechanic check the brake and suspension components specifically before you buy.
What to check before buying a 2009 Harley Davidson Fxcwc
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.
