Our Verdict
A strong recommendation based on the cle
Given the very low annual mileage observed in the MOT history, you should focus on signs of inactivity. Check for perished rubber components, such as tyre sidewall cracking or brittle hoses, which can occur when a vehicle is stored for long periods. Verify the battery health and ensure the engine starts readily from cold.
Request a full service history to ensure that oil and filter changes have been performed based on time intervals rather than just mileage. Since the bike has covered fewer than 1,000 miles in the last two years, confirming that the fluids have been refreshed is essential for the longevity of the 790cc engine.
As a 790cc petrol-powered classic, this Bonneville will have modest fuel economy compared to modern motorcycles. Insurance costs are typically manageable for this model, though this will vary based on the owner's profile and location.
Maintenance costs for these air-cooled twins are generally predictable, though parts for a 2004 model may require sourcing from specialist Triumph dealers. Expected annual costs will primarily consist of insurance, road tax, and preventative maintenance to keep the bike roadworthy.
While the MOT history from 2022 to 2024 shows no recorded defects, you should specifically inspect the tyres for 'flat spots' or age-related hardening due to the low usage. Check the drive chain for surface rust and ensure it is properly lubricated.
Inspect the brake calipers and discs for any signs of seizing or corrosion, which can happen when a bike is not ridden frequently. Finally, check the overall condition of the black paintwork and chrome for any signs of pitting or oxidation that may have occurred during storage.
This black 2004 Triumph Bonneville has a recorded mileage of 21,182 miles as of its last MOT in August 2024. The vehicle has passed its last three MOT tests (2022, 2023, and 2024) with no defects recorded. This indicates a bike that has been used sparingly, covering only 793 miles between September 2022 and August 2024.
There is no aggregate MOT data available to provide a statistical reliability trend for the Triumph Bonneville.
