2021 Triumph Speed Triple RS 1160 1.2L Petrol · BF21 AHG

Overall the 2021 Triumph Speed Triple RS 1160 passed its most recent MOT on 21 March 2026 at 5,192 miles, but the tester flagged a front tyre nearing the legal tread limit and a drive chain with slight slack. No major mechanical failures were recorded, and the same minor items re‑appear, suggesting a stable condition rather than a clear improvement. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a five‑year‑old machine, averaging about 1,038 miles per year. The previous test on 22 August 2024 logged 3,770 miles, meaning only roughly 1,422 miles were added over the ensuing 19 months. Such gaps indicate long periods of standing, which can accelerate rubber and corrosion issues despite the low annual mileage. A buyer should therefore examine the drive chain for proper tension and wear, measure the front tyre tread depth, and inspect the exhaust mounting and noise level for signs of looseness or corrosion. Additionally, the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs and brake discs should be checked for cracking, binding calipers or uneven wear that may not have been captured in the MOT notes. Inspect the chassis and frame for structural rust or fatigue around mounting points, and test the brake system for consistent bite and any drag. Even with a clean record, these areas can reveal hidden wear that only a physical inspection can confirm.
