2012 Triumph Bonneville 0.9L Petrol · A13 NCC

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by five consecutive MOT passes without any defects. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 4,352 miles resulted in no recorded failures or advisories. This string of clean reports suggests that the motorcycle has been kept in a dry environment and that mechanical components have not reached the wear thresholds typically associated with high-mileage. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old machine, averaging approximately 311 miles per year. Between August 2021 and September 2025, the bike covered only 1,739 miles, moving from 2,613 to 4,352 miles. This low usage indicates the vehicle is likely used sporadically or remains stored for long periods. While this limits wear on the drivetrain, brake pads, and tyres, it introduces specific risks related to age-related degradation of rubber and fluid components that an MOT does not fully capture. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that perish over time rather than through mileage. Because the bike has travelled so little, you must check the fork seals for perished rubber, the tyres for sidewalling or cracking, and the brake fluid for moisture contamination. Inspect the fuel system for any signs of varnish or old petrol, as long periods of standing can lead to internal corrosion. Ensure the drive chain is not seized or excessively dry, as the low mileage often masks a lack of regular lubrication.
