2001 Triumph Bonneville 0.8L Petrol · CN51 AAF

The Triumph Bonneville maintains an exemplary roadworthiness record, with the most recent MOT on 4 April 2025 at 14,165 miles resulting in a clean pass. This outcome confirms a stable and high standard of mechanical upkeep. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories across the last five inspections suggests the motorcycle has been preserved with significant care, showing no signs of deteriorating structural integrity or persistent component failure. The recorded mileage is exceptionally low for a machine of this age, averaging roughly 567 miles per annum over its 25-year lifespan. A notable surge in usage occurred between August 2021 and December 2023, where the odometer increased by 707 miles, followed by a more significant jump of 5,788 miles leading up to the April 2025 test. This recent increase indicates the bike has transitioned from a period of long-term storage or minimal use into a phase of active operation. Potential buyers should focus their physical inspection on the effects of long-term standing rather than heavy mechanical wear. While the MOT history is clean, rubber components such as fork seals, fuel lines, and tyres may have perished or hardened despite the low mileage. Check the fuel tank interior for signs of corrosion caused by stagnant fuel and inspect the chain and sprockets for seized links or surface oxidation. Given the recent increase in annual mileage, confirm that the engine oil and brake fluid have been replaced to address the risks associated with fluid degradation over time.
