Indian Motorcycle Scout Bobber (2020)
2020 Indian Motorcycle Scout Bobber
CarHunch analysed 112 real MOT records for the 2020 Indian Motorcycle Scout Bobber. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2020 Indian Scout Bobber is a genuinely reliable proposition: it posts a 92.5% first-time pass rate, well ahead of the UK average of 80%, and dangerous defects are almost non-existent at under 1%. These bikes are clearly well-engineered and built to last.
At just over 4,000 miles median usage for a four-year-old machine, owners aren't thrashing them—they're garage queens and weekend riders. The low failure rate (0.16 per vehicle) reflects that gentle treatment, though the 1.2 advisories per bike suggest you should budget for routine maintenance items like wear parts and consumables. If you're buying one, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on brake fluid condition and tyre age rather than structural concerns.
What to check before buying a 2020 Indian Motorcycle Scout Bobber
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.
