2003 Triumph Bonneville T100 0.8L Petrol · CX03 AXT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT documentation. The October 2025 test at 27,930 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a period of consistent compliance, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum regulatory requirements. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a 23-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,214 miles per year. The data shows the vehicle remained largely stationary for significant periods, with the mileage only increasing by 26 miles between the 2021 and 2025 tests. While low mileage often implies less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, such long intervals of inactivity can lead to degradation in rubber seals, fuel system integrity, and battery health. The historical record shows some volatility during the 2018 testing period, where the vehicle failed twice in October and December before passing. Although no specific mechanical faults were documented in the provided summary, these failures indicate that the bike required remedial work to meet standards during that year. A buyer should investigate whether these failures related to consumables like tyres or brake pads, or more significant issues such as lighting or emissions. Given the long periods of inactivity evidenced by the stagnant mileage, a physical inspection should prioritise the condition of all perished rubber components. Focus specifically on the fuel lines, fork seals, and tyre sidewalls for signs of cracking or dry rot. The lack of recent mileage suggests the engine may have sat for years, so checking for fluid leaks or corrosion on the exhaust system and brake calipers is a necessary precaution before purchase.
