2005 Triumph Speed Master 0.8L Petrol · OU55 AUX

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent June 2026 test at 13,196 miles. The trend shows an improving trajectory following a period of recurring minor mechanical defects. While the bike suffered from persistent issues between 2019 and 2024, the absence of defects in the last two tests suggests that the owner has finally addressed the underlying concerns. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 21-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 628 miles per year. The data reveals long periods of stationary use, for example, only 54 miles recorded between May 2025 and June 2026. While this low usage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, the infrequent intervals between tests can lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. The consistent annual testing since 2012 indicates a level of basic attention regarding legal compliance despite the low annual mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front braking system and the exhaust assembly. The record consistently flagged the front brake discs for pitting, scoring, and wear from 2019 through 2024, indicating that these components were likely replaced or serviced only very recently. The noisy exhaust was also a recurring fault for five years, suggesting a loose mounting or internal baffle issue that has now been secured. Given the low mileage and long storage periods, inspect the drive chain for dry spots or rust and check the tyres for age-related cracking, as rubber often fails before tread wears out on low-use vehicles.
