2012 Triumph Tiger 0.8L Petrol · WR62 ABZ

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its most recent 2025-11-05 MOT at 18,531 miles. The prior three tests from 2024-10-28 (16,607 miles) to 2022-11-25 (13,826 miles) also showed no failures, indicating consistent maintenance. However, a 2022-11-25 test at the same mileage recorded a failure with no defects listed, suggesting a potential administrative error or unrecorded issue. The absence of recurring mechanical faults in subsequent tests implies the car has not developed systemic problems. The mileage progression reveals a low annual average of 1,324 miles over 14 years, with gradual accumulation between tests. From 13,826 miles in 2022 to 18,531 miles in 2025, the vehicle gained 4,705 miles across three years, reflecting minimal usage. This pattern aligns with long-term storage or infrequent operation, which can lead to dry rot in rubber components, corrosion in underbody areas, and degraded fluid systems. The lack of rapid mileage spikes reduces wear on suspension and braking systems but necessitates verification of fluid freshness and battery condition. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the exhaust system for corrosion, particularly in the catalytic converter and muffler, as low mileage often correlates with stagnant fluids and oxidisation. Suspension components, including coil springs and bushings, should be checked for fatigue or binding, while the braking system requires scrutiny for uneven disc wear or caliper stiffness. Structural integrity is likely sound given the absence of rust-related advisories, but a thorough underbody inspection is recommended to confirm no hidden corrosion exists.
