2016 Triumph S 0.7L Petrol · AE66 OGZ

The 2016 Triumph S presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent DVSA test on 9 June 2025 at 10,234 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and no advisories were raised across the three available entries. The mileage pattern shows exceptionally light use for a ten-year-old machine. The record moved from 9,766 miles at the 17 September 2021 test, to 10,161 miles on 21 September 2022, then 10,234 miles by June 2025. That is a cumulative gain of only 468 miles across roughly four years, averaging near 1,000 miles per annum. The clean slate of passes with no flagged wear items reflects this low throughput, though the sparse history leaves long dormant periods unaccounted for. A buyer should still inspect in person for issues that low-mileage standing can mask. Extended idle time promotes tyre flat-spotting, degraded fluid in the brake circuit, and surface corrosion on structural members despite a clean MOT. The tester noted no binding calipers, worn suspension bushes, or exhaust concerns, yet these components age regardless of distance covered. Given the absence of recorded advisories on coil springs, brake discs, or chassis integrity, the vehicle appears mechanically sound on paper. Physical checks should focus on rubber perishables, fork seal weeping, and any hidden rust at mounting points before purchase.
