2021 Triumph Tiger 850 Sport 0.9L Petrol · YX71 PYF

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows signs of wear on the braking system. While it passed the latest test on 11 December 2025 at 13,983 miles, the tester identified specific issues that were absent in the previous year. The presence of front brake pads approaching the minimum limit combined with a slight fluctuation in front brake effort indicates that the braking system is reaching the end of its service interval and requires attention. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 2,800 miles per year. Between the December 2024 test at 12,528 miles and the December 2025 test, the vehicle covered only 1,455 miles. This low usage suggests the bike has been used sparingly or sat stationary for extended periods. Low-mile vehicles can sometimes lead to flat spots on tyres or perished seals and corrosion on exposed metal surfaces, despite the low overall mechanical wear. A buyer must physically inspect the front braking assembly to determine if the fluctuation in effort is caused by a warped rotor or a failing master cylinder. Given that the pads are already near the wear limit, a full set of replacements is likely necessary immediately. The inspection should also check for signs of corrosion on the brake discs and calipers, as the low-mileage history often masks age-related degradation of rubber components and metal surfaces.
