TRIUMPH SPEED TRIPLE2002 · 1.0L Petrol

The 2002 Triumph Speed Triple presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent MOT test on 15 November 2024 at 27,658 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Prior examinations show the same clean outcome. The August 2023 entry lists both a fail and a pass on the same day at 27,416 miles with no defects logged, a likely administrative anomaly rather than a genuine mechanical fault. No advisories appear across the five available records. Recorded mileage sits at 27,658 against 24 years of age, an average of roughly 1,152 miles per year. The DVSA data shows minimal accumulation: 27,040 miles in October 2020, 27,309 by April 2022, 27,416 in August 2023, and 27,658 in November 2024. Such low, steady figures with no rapid jumps indicate light use and probable extended standing periods. The sparse, clean history offers little evidence of neglect, though long dormancy carries its own risks unseen in test results. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension bushes, fork seals, and coil springs for perishing caused by infrequent movement and age. Brake calipers may bind from standing; check disc condition and fluid integrity. Structural corrosion on the frame and exhaust demands close examination, as the MOT record logs none but a 24-year-old machine stored intermittently will often hide rust. Confirm tyre sidewall cracking and brake hose degradation before purchase.
