2011 Triumph Bonneville America 865 0.9L Petrol · VO61 AEU

The vehicle presents an inconsistent history of test results, primarily centered around electrical and lighting-related failures. In the most recent test in April 2025 at 12,964 miles, the motorcycle failed due to a non-functional offside rear indicator. This mirrors a previous failure in March 2023 at 12,959 miles, where the bike failed for the same reason alongside a missing reflector. While the vehicle passed subsequent tests following these repairs, the recurring nature of the lighting faults suggests a wiring harness issue or artwork failure that has not been comprehensively addressed. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age, showing a slow progression from 4,010 miles in 2014 to nearly 13,000 miles by 2025. This averages to less than 900 miles per year, which typically results in reduced wear on consumable items such as tyres, brake pads, and chains. However, long periods of inactivity can lead to other mechanical issues, including seized components, perished rubber seals, or fuel degradation. The significant gaps between certain test dates indicate the bike has sat stationary for several years occasionally. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the electrical system and switchgear to ensure the recurring indicator failure is resolved. Given the low mileage, the structural integrity of the frame and suspension components should be checked for corrosion, which often affects bikes that are stored but not used regularly. The braking system does not show any recent advisories in the record, but the discs should be inspected for pitting or rust due to the long intervals between use.
