2011 Triumph Bonneville 0.9L Petrol · FL61 ACV

The Triumph Bonneville maintains an exemplary roadworthiness record, with the most recent MOT test on 22 July 2025 at 10,427 miles resulting in a clean pass. This outcome confirms a stable and positive maintenance trend, as the motorcycle has recorded five consecutive passes without a single advisory or failure notice since August 2022. The absence of recurring defects suggests the machine has been kept in a climate-controlled environment and subjected to diligent mechanical oversight by its previous keepers. The recorded mileage of 10,427 over fifteen years indicates a very low usage pattern, averaging approximately 695 miles per annum. The data shows a period of minimal activity between August 2022 and April 2023, where the odometer increased by only seven miles, followed by more consistent usage leading up to the 2025 test. While this low mileage preserves the engine internals and chassis finish, it often masks issues related to long-term storage, such as fuel system degradation or the hardening of rubber seals and hoses. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that suffer during prolonged periods of inactivity rather than high-mileage wear. Examine the fuel tank interior for signs of corrosion or stale fuel residue and check the condition of the rubber intake manifolds and fork seals for perishing. Inspect the brake fluid for signs of moisture absorption and confirm that the calipers operate freely, as low-mileage bikes are prone to brake binding if the fluid is not changed on a strict schedule. The lack of historical advisories provides a strong foundation, but the mechanical integrity of the bike now depends on how well the owner managed the long intervals of storage.
