2012 Triumph Tiger 1.1L Petrol · CE62 PZS

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 16 June 2025 with 22,682 miles and no recorded defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend following a period of mechanical neglect in 2023. While the latest test is clean, the transition from a failure to a pass indicates that the owner eventually addressed specific mechanical issues identified during the previous testing cycle. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,620 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap in usage between January 2022 at 21,045 miles and May 2023 at 21,696 miles, where only 651 miles were covered in sixteen months. This low usage suggests light wear on the drivetrain and engine but often correlates with aging rubber-based components, such as seals, hoses, and tyres, which can degrade when the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the 2023 records flagged both front brake binding and pitted or scored brake discs. Although these were cleared in subsequent tests, the recurring nature of binding suggests the caliper pistons may be seizing due to lack of frequent use. The 2023 failure for a front tyre with 1.0mm of tread depth further highlights a pattern of ignoring consumable maintenance until a failure occurs, necessitating a thorough check of sidewall cracking and age dates on the current tyres regardless of remaining tread.
