2017 Triumph Bonneville 1.2L Petrol · AX17 KHH

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 14 August 2025 at 11,605 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the motorcycle has remained in a road-ready condition without any recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation over the last five testing cycles. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,289 miles per year. Between the July 2021 test at 3,835 miles and the August 2025 test at 11,605 miles, the vehicle covered only 7,770 miles over four years. This suggests the bike has seen minimal use or has been stored for extended periods. However, low mileage can sometimes mask issues related to age-related decay of rubber and fluids rather than mechanical wear from friction. Given the clean record, a physical inspection should shift focus toward the components affected by long-term storage and age. Check the tyres for flat spotting, sidewall cracking, or hardening, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. The brake fluid should be tested for moisture content, and the calipers seals should be inspected for weeping or pitting caused by inactivity. Additionally, verify the fork seals for leaks and inspect the drive chain for corrosion to ensure the low usage has not led to neglected lubrication of the drivetrain.
