2018 TRIUMPH BONNEVILLE0.9L Petrol

The most recent MOT test, conducted on 21 May 2025 at 3,168 miles, resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. The maintenance trend across the entire history is stable. Every inspection from October 2021 onwards has passed without any flagged faults. The mileage pattern is striking. The bike has covered only 3,168 miles in roughly eight years, approximately 396 miles per year. Between the October 2021 test at 2,938 miles and the November 2022 test at 3,104 miles, it recorded just 166 miles. From November 2022 onward, the odometer reading did not move, remaining at 3,168 miles through the October 2023 and May 2025 tests. That suggests the machine stood unused for extended periods, likely for well over a year at a stretch. The MOT record itself is spotless, with no structural, suspension, brake, or emissions faults ever recorded. That indicates the vehicle presented well at each inspection. However, a motorcycle that sits for long periods can develop problems a short MOT drive will not expose. Tyres can age and crack despite retaining full tread depth. Brake calipers can bind, and brake fluid can absorb moisture over time. Fuel can degrade inside the tank and injectors. A buyer should inspect tyre sidewalls for perishing, confirm the front and rear brakes release cleanly, and examine exposed metal components such as the exhaust and fork stanchions for corrosion. With no recurring faults in the history, there is no specific mechanical weakness to target. The primary risk is deterioration from inactivity rather than wear from use. A road test is essential to verify the brakes do not bind, the suspension returns properly, and the engine runs smoothly on aged fuel. If the seller cannot provide evidence of recent servicing, an oil and brake fluid change should be carried out promptly.
