Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2018 Harley Davidson Street Rod Xg 750 A 18?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2018 Harley Davidson Street Rod Xg 750 A 18?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2018 Harley Davidson Street Rod Xg 750 A 18?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

The 2018 Harley-Davidson Street Rod's first-time MOT pass rate of 78.9% sits just below the UK average of 80%, suggesting broadly typical reliability for this model year, though the 6.2% dangerous defect rate is reassuringly low. With only 0.31 failures per vehicle on average, serious mechanical issues are uncommon across the sample.

These 177 bikes show a median mileage of just 3,926 miles—relatively light for a six-year-old machine—which partly explains the clean failure record and suggests many owners use them sparingly. The 1.2 advisories per vehicle typically point to minor wear items rather than structural concerns, so prospective buyers should focus on checking service history and fluid conditions rather than expecting hidden problems; a pre-purchase inspection by a Harley specialist will quickly settle any doubts.
