2012 Triumph Street Triple R 0.7L Petrol · KV62 AHJ

The vehicle shows an improving maintenance trend, moving from a history of recurring consumable failures to a clean pass in its most recent recorded test. While the September 2022 MOT at 15,725 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, the preceding failed test in August 2022 at 15,707 miles highlighted excessive fluctuation of brake effort on the front brake. This suggests that while the bike is currently compliant, it has required corrective work on the braking system to meet standards. The recorded mileage of 15,725 miles over a 14-year lifespan indicates exceptionally low usage, averaging just over 1,100 miles per year. The data shows consistent, albeit infrequent, testing patterns. Between 2016 and 2022, the mileage increased steadily from 7,213 to 15,725 miles. This low-use profile often implies the vehicle has spent significant time stationary, which can lead to specific maintenance issues despite the low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system. The MOT history shows a recurring issue with brake effort fluctuation, appearing in both September 2020 and August 2022. This pattern warrants a close check of the brake discs for scoring or warping and an inspection of the calipers and fluid condition to ensure no underlying hydraulic issues persist. The previous failures also highlight a pattern of neglected consumables, specifically tyres, which reached legal limits or suffered structural damage in 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. Given the low annual mileage, you must check the age and condition of the tyres and rubber components. Long periods of standing can cause sidewall cracking or flat spots that are not always captured by tread depth measurements. Inspect the suspension seals and various rubber hoses for signs of perishing or age-related degradation, as these are common in vehicles that undergo infrequent but consistent use.
