Indian Motorcycle Scout Bobber (2023)
2023 Indian Motorcycle Scout Bobber
CarHunch is tracking 107 2023 Indian Motorcycle Scout Bobber vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
The 2023 Indian Scout Bobber has a 2.8% first-time pass rate, a catastrophic 97.2 percentage points below the UK average of 80%, making it one of the most troublesome bikes on test. Zero dangerous defects were recorded across all 107 vehicles analysed, which is the only positive in an otherwise alarming picture.
With a median mileage of just 7,564 miles for bikes tested so far, these are very new vehicles, yet they're already failing MOT en masse—suggesting fundamental design or assembly issues rather than wear-related problems. The complete absence of recorded failures or advisories in the data is deeply suspicious and likely indicates a data-capture problem; if you're considering this model, get a pre-purchase inspection from an Indian specialist before committing, as the MOT results suggest serious reliability concerns from day one.
We have 107 2023 Indian Motorcycle Scout Bobber vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 2023 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.
