2017 Harley Davidson Street Xg 750 17

CarHunch analysed 150 real MOT records for the 2017 Harley Davidson Street Xg 750 17. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2017 Harley-Davidson Street 750 significantly outperforms the UK average with a 92% first-time pass rate against the national 80% benchmark, and dangerous defects are relatively rare at 11.3%—well below the threshold where serious concern kicks in. The bike is genuinely reliable in the hands of owners who maintain it.

The median mileage of just 4,694 miles reflects a bike that's been ridden sparingly, which explains both the strong pass rate and the low failure count of 0.5 per vehicle; the 2.3 advisories per test suggest minor wear items rather than structural problems. Before buying, ask the seller for full service history and inspect the battery, brakes, and chain—the most common wear points on lightly-used cruisers.

What to check before buying a 2017 Harley Davidson Street Xg 750 17

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.
