2012 TRIUMPH BONNEVILLE0.9L PETROL

The MOT history is exceptionally clean, with a pass recorded in May 2025 at 21,304 miles and zero defects noted over the last five years. This suggests the machine has been mechanically sound and well-maintained regarding safety compliance. The condition trend is stable, with no worsening faults or recurring advisories recorded in this period. However, the mileage data reveals a significant shift in usage patterns that requires caution. While the annual average is low at roughly 1,500 miles, the bike has barely been ridden recently, covering only 105 miles between August 2023 and May 2025. Such a long period of inactivity poses specific risks that a clean MOT certificate might not fully capture, particularly regarding fluid degradation and component seizure. You should focus your inspection on the consequences of standing still rather than mechanical wear. Check the fuel system thoroughly for stale fuel or clogged injectors since the tank may have been sitting full or empty for months. Inspect the tyres for cracking or flat spots, and ensure the brake calipers are free and not sticking due to corrosion. Finally, check the clutch and throttle cables for smooth operation, as these can seize when a motorcycle is left unused for long periods.
