2017 Triumph Bonneville 0.9L Petrol · AO67 PZL

The Triumph Bonneville presents a clean bill of health across its entire MOT history. The most recent test, conducted on 9 April 2026 at just 362 miles, passed with zero defects. This pattern of consecutive clean passes, stretching back to March 2022, indicates a stable maintenance trend with no recurring mechanical or structural faults. There are no advisories, no failures, and no evidence of deterioration across any tested system over the recorded period. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2017 machine. Accumulating only 362 miles over nine years equates to roughly 40 miles per year. The progression is gradual: 186 miles in March 2022, 214 miles by April 2023, 296 miles by April 2024, 342 miles by April 2025, and 362 miles by April 2026. The largest single-year increase occurred between April 2023 and April 2024, when 82 miles were added, but the rate has since slowed to just 20 miles in the most recent year. This suggests prolonged periods of storage or very occasional use rather than regular riding. Such ultra-low mileage carries its own mechanical considerations. A motorcycle standing for extended periods can develop stale fuel, deteriorated seals, and corrosion in brake calipers or the exhaust system despite the pristine MOT record. The tester flagged no binding brakes, no suspension wear, and no structural corrosion across any test, but a prospective buyer should still inspect the condition of rubber components, including tyre sidewalls and fork seals, which degrade with age regardless of mileage. The chain and sprockets should be examined for surface corrosion, and fluid levels, particularly brake fluid, should be checked for moisture absorption from prolonged inactivity. The MOT record itself offers no mechanical red flags whatsoever. Every test from 2022 through 2026 passed cleanly with no defects recorded. For a buyer, the primary concern is not accumulated wear but the effects of long-term storage on consumable and perishable components. A brief road test to confirm smooth brake operation, gear changes, and suspension response would be prudent before purchase.
