Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2014 Husqvarna Fe?

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.

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.

The 2014 Husqvarna FE passes its MOT first time at 85.2%, which is meaningfully better than the UK average of 80%, suggesting these bikes are generally well-maintained and reliable. The dangerous defect rate of 10.8% is moderate and not a major concern for prospective buyers.

These are lightly-used machines with a median mileage of just 2,470 miles—typical for a niche dirt bike that may see seasonal or weekend use rather than daily commuting. Owners encounter around one failure and three advisories per test on average, pointing to minor wear items rather than systemic problems. When shopping for a used example, verify service history and check the condition of wear-prone consumables like brake pads and chains, since the low mileage means some bikes may have sat unused for stretches.

We have limited data for the 2014 Husqvarna Fe — treat the figures below as indicative rather than definitive.

⚠️ About 1 in 12 of these cars have had a dangerous MOT failure at some point — usually tyres or brakes, and often a one-off issue rather than a persistent problem. The group stats won't tell you which one you're looking at.
