Harley Davidson Fxdb Street Bob (2007)
2007 Harley Davidson Fxdb Street Bob
CarHunch analysed 191 real MOT records for the 2007 Harley Davidson Fxdb Street Bob. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2007 Street Bob has a serious reliability problem: only 50% pass their MOT first time, compared to the UK average of 80%, and nearly half of all test attempts result in a failure. The good news is that dangerous defects are rare at 4.7%, so safety-critical failures aren't the primary issue here—it's more about wear and maintenance across various systems.
At an average mileage of 13,329 miles for a 17-year-old bike, these machines are relatively lightly used, yet they're still accumulating 2.5 advisories per vehicle on average. If you're considering one, budget for remedial work before the next MOT: factor in the cost of fixing that 0.6 average failures, plus addressing the advisory items that tend to cluster around wear items and ageing components on older Harleys.
What to check before buying a 2007 Harley Davidson Fxdb Street Bob
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.
