2014 Triumph Bonneville 0.9L Petrol · PY14 AEP

The vehicle presents a highly stable maintenance profile with an excellent roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 13 July 2026 at 18,659 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent string of consecutive passes dating back to 2017, indicating that the motorcycle has been maintained to a standard that meets all regulatory requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally low usage for a 2014 model, averaging approximately 1,555 miles per year. The records show a steady, incremental increase in distance covered, with the mileage rising from 6,393 in June 2022 to 18,659 in July 2026. While the low annual mileage suggests light use, the absence of any advisories regarding consumables like tyres or brake pads suggests the owner has addressed wear items despite the infrequent riding. There is a notable gap in the records between May 2019 and June 2022, though the vehicle passed its tests during this period. The historical data shows minor, non-mechanical failures related to lighting alignment. In April 2018 and May 2019, the tester flagged the front headlamp aim as being too low. These were immediate, single-issue failures that were rectified to achieve a pass on the same day. Because these issues were purely related to lamp positioning rather than electrical faults or structural integrity, they do not indicate a pattern of neglect or underlying electrical degradation. A prospective buyer should focus on the implications of low-mileage, long-term storage. While the MOT history is clean, the lack of heavy use can sometimes lead to seized components or perished rubber parts. I recommend a physical inspection of the fuel system, battery health, and tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking. Given the pristine MOT record, the mechanical components appear to be in good order, but checking for any fluid leaks or seized brake calipers would be a prudent final step to confirm the bike is ready for regular road use.
