2012 Triumph Bonneville 0.9L Petrol · AF12 WCL

The Triumph Bonneville presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 March 2026 at 7,256 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken clean run across every available examination. The machine shows exceptionally low use for a 2012 model. Recorded distance moved from 6,987 miles at the 22 March 2022 test to 7,256 miles by March 2026, a total gain of just 269 miles over four years, or under 70 miles annually. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 entries spans roughly thirteen months rather than twelve, yet no fail or advisory appears in either. Such sparse, clean records imply the motorcycle has stood largely idle under sheltered ownership rather than covering regular road miles. A buyer should still inspect for deterioration that low mileage and static storage can mask. Long standing promotes tyre sidewall cracking, flat-spotted rubber, and seized brake calipers despite the tester recording no binding at the 2025 and 2026 checks. The 7,197-mile March 2025 pass and 7,168-mile April 2023 pass show no corrosion or suspension bush advisories, so structural integrity reads sound on paper. Given the absence of any flagged defects across all four tests, no recurring mechanical fault pattern exists to track. Prospective owners ought to verify fluid condition, chain tension, and fork seal weepage in person, as these consumable areas fall outside the MOT scope yet degrade with age regardless of the odometer.
