2002 Triumph Thunderbird 0.9L Petrol · DW52 TRY

The 2002 Triumph Thunderbird currently holds an MOT record of 28,745 miles, which places it in a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2025-11-26 was passed at 28,745 miles, indicating that the vehicle has not suffered a significant deterioration since the previous inspection. This continuity suggests that the mechanical condition of the chassis and drivetrain has remained consistent, with no evidence of a sudden or rapid accumulation of wear that would suggest a worsening trend. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle has experienced a notable gap between the 2024-11-25 test and the 2025-11-26 test, where the mileage increased by 1,200 miles. This gap appears to be a result of the vehicle being in storage or undergoing routine maintenance rather than representing a significant increase in operational wear. The absence of defects in the 2024-11-27 test confirms that the mechanical integrity of the drivetrain and suspension components has not deteriorated during this interval. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to verify the condition of the suspension bushings and coil springs, as the 2025-11-26 MOT flagged a light misting of oil in these components, which is a common issue. The 2024-11-25 failure to test the front tyre is a critical structural risk that requires immediate attention; if this tyre is still unsuitable, the vehicle cannot be legally driven and must be removed from service. The lack of defects in the 2022-11-25 test indicates that the suspension system has been maintained and functional throughout the previous ownership period, but the current inspection must confirm that these components are not compromised by corrosion or wear.
