Indian Motorcycle Ftr 1200 (2020)
2020 Indian Motorcycle Ftr 1200
CarHunch analysed 131 real MOT records for the 2020 Indian Motorcycle Ftr 1200. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2020 Indian FTR 1200 passes its MOT first time in 87.4% of cases, comfortably ahead of the UK average of 80%, and dangerous defects are rare at just 3.8%—well below the threshold that would concern buyers. This is a reassuringly reliable bike for a modern middleweight cruiser.
At under 4,700 miles on average, these bikes are still relatively new and lightly used, which explains the strong pass rate and low failure count of 0.24 per vehicle. The 0.8 advisories per bike suggest minor wear items emerging, but nothing systemic; when buying used, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on suspension and brake wear rather than expecting major engine work.
What to check before buying a 2020 Indian Motorcycle Ftr 1200
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.
