2013 Triumph Tiger 1.2L Petrol · BT13 AEA

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a passing history across all recorded tests. The most recent MOT on 21 January 2026 at 47,410 miles indicates the motorcycle remains roadworthy, though the tester flagged front brake pads as being close to the minimum limit. This follows a clean pass in March 2025 at 43,096 miles, suggesting that while the vehicle is well-maintained, consumable components are now entering a phase of required replacement. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2013 model, averaging approximately 3,647 miles per year. The records show a consistent, gradual increase in usage rather than long periods of total inactivity. Between January 2024 and March 2025, the mileage rose from 35,906 to 43,096, representing a period of more regular use compared to the earlier years of the vehicle's life. This steady progression suggests the motorcycle has been used sufficiently to prevent the typical degradation associated with long-term storage, such as seized components or fuel system issues. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system. The MOT history shows a recurring trend of brake-related advisories. The tester noted a slight fluctuation in rear brake effort during both the January 2023 and January 2024 tests. This pattern, combined with the January 2026 advisory regarding front brake pad wear, indicates that the braking hardware requires close scrutiny. I recommend checking the condition of the rear brake caliper for sticking or uneven pressure and verifying the thickness of both front and rear pads and discs. Beyond the brakes, the history shows minimal intervention for other major systems. Aside from a single tyre advisory in May 2016, no issues regarding suspension, structural integrity, or exhaust emissions have been flagged. Given the low mileage and the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of rubber components, such as fork seals and tyre sidewalls, is advisable to ensure they have not perished due to age despite the low usage.
