2011 TRIUMPH STREET TRIPLE R0.7L Petrol

This Triumph Street Triple R has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across the last four tests, most recently passing on 2 April 2026 at just 14,037 miles. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has been kept in a stable condition, though the most recent test occurred only three months ago—well within the DVSA’s recommended 12-month interval for motorcycles. No recurring issues have been flagged, which is unusual for a bike of this age, though the low mileage may partially explain this. The lack of advisories also implies that previous owners have likely addressed minor wear items promptly, such as chain tension or brake pad thickness, even if not formally recorded. The recorded mileage of 14,037 miles over nearly 15 years—roughly 936 miles annually—is exceptionally low for a motorcycle of this vintage, suggesting it has spent most of its life either lightly used or stored. The gaps between tests are consistent, with roughly 12-month intervals between each MOT, though the jump from May 2022 to March 2024 (a 22-month gap) is slightly irregular. This period saw mileage increase by just 950 miles, reinforcing the low-usage pattern. While this reduces wear on high-stress components like the engine or transmission, it also raises questions about long-term storage effects, such as battery health or potential corrosion from moisture accumulation. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should focus their inspection on areas not formally tested under MOT but critical for long-term reliability. The suspension—particularly the rear shock absorbers and steering head bearings—should be checked for excessive play or fluid leaks, as these are often overlooked in low-mileage bikes. The chain and sprocket wear, despite no MOT failures, should be examined closely, as even low-mileage bikes can suffer from rust or improper tension over time. Tyre condition, while not failed in tests, warrants scrutiny, especially if the bike has been stored for extended periods, as sidewall cracking or uneven wear may indicate neglect. Finally, inspect the frame for any hidden corrosion or stress cracks, particularly around the fuel tank mounts or exhaust clamps, as these areas are prone to rust even with minimal use. The absence of MOT advisories does not guarantee these components are flawless.
