MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

13 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Triumph 955 (R717 UCC) between May 2007 and May 2022.

The record contains 11 passes and 2 failures.

The most recent test on 04 May 2022 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (5 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Tyres (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Rear Floor brake test indicates a binding brake (3.3.C2c)”; “Exhaust noise is clearly in excess of that emitted by a similar motor bicycle fitted with a standard silencer in averag”; “Exhaust mounting does not fully support the exhaust system (7.1.1.c)”.
