2006 Triumph Bonneville America 0.8L Petrol · MX56 GXB

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT on 15 July 2025 at 22,678 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to 2022, indicating a vehicle that is maintained to a high standard and requires no immediate corrective mechanical work. The mileage is very low for a twenty year old motorcycle, averaging roughly 1,134 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady and predictable, increasing by 1,190 miles between July 2023 and July 2024, and by another 1,190 miles leading into the July 2025 test. This linear pattern suggests regular, light use rather than erratic periods of long-term storage, which reduces the likelihood of seized components or perished seals. Despite the lack of MOT failures or advisories, the low annual mileage necessitates a specific physical inspection. A buyer should check for tyre hardening and perishing, as rubber compounds degrade over time regardless of tread depth. The absence of recorded brake issues in the history does not rule out potential sticking calipers or fluid degradation if the bike has spent long periods stationary between trips. Attention should be paid to the general state of the chrome and frame for any signs of surface corrosion. While the DVSA records show no structural failures, a manual check of the suspension bushes and chain tension is advised to ensure the bike has not suffered from neglect during its low-use years. The record is exemplary, but physical verification of consumables is the final necessary step.
