This Dyna Lowrider S has a first-time MOT pass rate of 70.8%, which is 9 points below the UK average of 80%, suggesting it's a slightly less reliable proposition at test time. The good news is that dangerous defects are rare at just 6%, so you're not dealing with a safety-prone model.

These bikes are typically ridden hard but not heavily—the median mileage of 7,205 miles for a 2016 model is genuinely low for age, which partly explains why there's only 0.46 failures per vehicle on average. The real concern is the 1.8 advisories per bike, pointing to wear items like brake fluid condition, exhaust sealing, and chain maintenance; budget for preventive work on suspension and engine sealing before buying one used.
