2021 Triumph Speed Triple RS 1160 1.2L Petrol · AY71 VKM

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a decline in basic consumable upkeep. While the most recent test on 06 September 2025 at 5,530 miles passed, the tester flagged a front tyre worn close to the legal limit. This indicates that despite the low overall usage of the machine, the owner has neglected routine tyre inspections or replacement intervals, contrasting with the clean sheet recorded in the previous year. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a five-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,100 miles per year. Between the 12 September 2024 test at 3,795 miles and the September 2025 test, the bike covered only 1,735 miles. This pattern suggests the vehicle is used sporadically or sits for long periods. Low mileage can sometimes lead to issues such as rubber degradation, flat spots on tyres, or surface corrosion on brake components that an MOT does not always capture. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the front tyre immediately, as the advisory suggests it is nearing the end of its life. Given the low mileage, it is also vital to check for brake caliper seizing or surface rust on the discs, which often occurs when vehicles are not used frequently. Inspect the chain for stretch and dry-linking, as low-use bikes often suffer from poor lubrication and tensioning of the drivetrain.
