Harley Davidson Fxdb (2007)
2007 Harley Davidson Fxdb
CarHunch analysed 195 real MOT records for the 2007 Harley Davidson Fxdb. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2007 Harley Davidson FXDB passes its MOT on the first attempt 91% of the time, well above the UK average of 80%, and dangerous defects are relatively uncommon at 13.3%—not a significant buyer concern. Petrol engines dominate this cohort and show no comparative weakness here.
These bikes are running just 13,839 miles on average at test time, suggesting they're lightly used machines rather than daily commuters, which partly explains the strong pass rate. With 4.9 advisories per vehicle against 1.05 failures, the typical issues are minor wear items rather than critical faults—but get a pre-purchase inspection done to confirm brakes, tyres, and electrics are sound, as these are common problem areas on older Harleys.
What to check before buying a 2007 Harley Davidson Fxdb
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.
