2021 Triumph Trident 0.7L Petrol · AY71 EFB

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT test on April 11, 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable but shows a recurring defect regarding the exhaust system across two consecutive years. While the motorcycle has passed both tests, the persistence of the noisy exhaust entry indicates a specific mechanical issue that has not been addressed or rectified since the initial flagging in 2025. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a five-year-old motorcycle, recording only 4,274 miles as of the 2026 test. Between the April 2025 inspection and the April 2026 test, the vehicle covered just 507 miles. This average of approximately 855 miles per year suggests the bike sits stationary for long periods, which can lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid stagnation despite the low overall mechanical wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection specifically on the exhaust system to identify the source of the persistent noise noted in both records. Check for loose exhaust hangers, heat shields, or internal baffle damage that might be causing vibration without failing the emissions test. Given the low usage, it is also vital to inspect the tyres for flat spotting or age cracking and to check the brake fluid for signs of moisture absorption, which often affects vehicles that are infrequently ridden.
