2006 Triumph Bonneville 0.8L Petrol · LX06 AZO

The 2006 Triumph Bonneville presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 13 June 2025 at 27,745 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Prior to that, the June 2024 and June 2023 examinations also returned passes with no advisories, indicating the machine has held a clean mechanical record across its last three successful annual tests. Recorded mileage sits at 27,745 miles against roughly twenty years of age, an average of about 1,387 miles per year. The DVSA entries show light annual use: 25,844 miles on 10 June 2023, 27,193 at the failed retest on 10 June 2024, 27,200 by 18 June 2024, and 27,745 by June 2025. The sparse, clean history gives little evidence of rapid accumulation or neglected storage beyond the two same-day failures in 2023 and 2024, where the tester logged no defects yet issued a fail, a pattern suggesting administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical fault. A buyer should still inspect the machine in person given its low use and age. Long standing periods common to such mileage invite degraded suspension bushes, stiff fork seals, and corrosion on frame or exhaust components not always caught in a pass. The brake calipers and discs warrant a physical check for binding or pitting after years of limited rotation. The twin 2023 and 2024 fail entries with zero recorded defects mean the DVSA log offers no technical advisories to chase. Prospective owners should commission a independent presale inspection focusing on structural integrity, wheel bearings, and tyre sidewall condition before committing.
