2013 Harley Davidson Fxsb Breakout 13

CarHunch analysed 104 real MOT records for the 2013 Harley Davidson Fxsb Breakout 13. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2013 Harley-Davidson FXSB Breakout has a first-time MOT pass rate of 66.8%, notably below the UK average of 80%, which suggests owners should budget for repair work before or shortly after purchase. With 12.5% of vehicles having had a dangerous defect recorded, this bike poses a genuine safety risk if not inspected thoroughly—not a trivial concern for a machine where brake or chassis failure is serious.

At nearly 10,000 miles on average but only 6,678 miles at the median, many examples have been ridden hard, yet the bike typically racks up 0.66 failures and 3.0 advisories per test. Before committing, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on braking system integrity, suspension components, and any history of dangerous defects—this model demands more hands-on attention than the average cruiser.

What to check before buying a 2013 Harley Davidson Fxsb Breakout 13

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.
