2016 Triumph Tiger 0.8L Petrol · AF16 NKJ

The 2016 Triumph Tiger presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 April 2025 at 6,271 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of four consecutive MOT passes with zero advisories or failures since 2021. The recorded mileage shows exceptionally light use for a ten-year-old machine. The bike covered just 847 miles between the November 2021 test at 2,777 miles and the November 2022 test at 3,596 miles, then 1,828 miles to February 2024 at 5,424 miles, and a further 847 miles to April 2025. Average annual use sits near 627 miles. A notable gap exists between the November 2022 and February 2024 tests, spanning over fourteen months with no recorded examination. Such low totals and sparse testing suggest long standing periods rather than regular riding. No recurring faults, advisories, or structural concerns appear in the DVLA history, so the record itself gives no warning on suspension bushes, brake calipers, or corrosion. A buyer should still inspect in person for issues low mileage cannot hide. Standing storage promotes tyre perishing, seized brake pistons, and fork seal weeping even when tests show clean. Check the chain and sprockets for rust, the exhaust for internal rot, and the frame for moisture-driven corrosion around welds. Given the clean MOT trail and minimal use, the Tiger reads as a well-kept low-mileage example. The absence of advisories across four tests implies previous owners addressed basics before each examination. Confirm service history and battery condition before purchase, as infrequently run machines often suffer electrical neglect unseen in MOT data.
