TRIUMPH BONNEVILLE2017 · 1.2L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in November 2024 at 988 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though it reveals a persistent issue with the exhaust system. While the bike passed the latest inspection, the recurrence of a noisy exhaust fault noted in May 2021 and again in November 2024 suggests a mechanical irregularity or component defect has not been fully rectified by previous owners. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 110 miles per year. There are significant temporal gaps between tests, such as the twenty-month interval between February 2023 and November 2024 where only 82 miles were recorded. This pattern suggests the vehicle spends long periods stationary. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components, drying of fluid seals, and potential corrosion of metal surfaces that are not always reflected in mileage figures. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the exhaust system to address the recurring noise fault flagged at 822 miles and 988 miles. Given the low usage, specific attention should be paid to the flat spotting on tyres, the condition of brake lines, and the potential for brake fluid moisture absorption due to age. The rear indicators and registration plate, which caused a failure in 2021, should be verified to ensure they currently meet legal standards and have not been tampered with or replaced with non-compliant parts.
