2009 Triumph S 0.7L Petrol · DK58 AAU

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2 May 2026, but the record shows a worsening trend regarding specific mechanical issues. While the 2022 and 2023 tests showed no defects, the 2024 test at an unspecified mileage introduced an advisory for a noisy offside rear exhaust and a minor defect regarding the offside rear brake pedal failing to release correctly. These exact issues recurred in the May 2026 test, indicating that the underlying faults have not been rectified. The recorded mileage of 30,628 miles is low for a 2009 vehicle, averaging approximately 1,802 miles per year. This low usage pattern suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary. While the MOT history is relatively sparse, spanning only four years of recorded data from 2022 to 2026, the lack of recent mileage accumulation may contribute to the mechanical issues observed in the latest inspections. A prospective buyer should focus on the recurring offside rear brake issue. The repeated mention of the brake pedal not releasing correctly suggests a binding caliper or a fault within the hydraulic system that requires professional investigation. The persistent advisory regarding the noisy offside rear exhaust also warrants a physical inspection to check for exhaust system corrosion, loose mounting brackets, or internal damage to the silencer. Beyond these flagged items, the low annual mileage means components such as suspension bushes, tyres, and seals may have aged due to lack of use rather than wear. Given the recurring nature of the brake and exhaust faults, a thorough check of the braking system and the integrity of the exhaust mounting points is necessary to ensure these minor defects do not escalate into major failures.
