2016 Triumph Tiger 0.8L Petrol · CX16 EFP

The 2016 Triumph Tiger presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent DVSA test on 9 June 2025 at 29,565 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken four-year sequence of clean results. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for a ten-year-old machine. The record shows 25,431 miles at the 4 May 2022 test, rising to 27,540 by 9 May 2023, 28,467 by 12 June 2024, and 29,565 by June 2025. That equates to roughly 1,100 miles per year across the logged period. The sparse, fault-free history gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs, though low use combined with the absence of advisories means wear items have simply seen little service. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection before purchase. Long standing periods at low mileage risk perished suspension bushes, degraded fork seals, and flat-spotted tyres even where the tester logged no fault. The clean MOT record offers no warning on brake disc condition, caliper binding, or structural corrosion beneath the bodywork. Given the Tiger's light annual use, examine coolant hoses, chain and sprocket wear, and the exhaust for internal rot. The DVSA data confirms legal roadworthiness, but it does not substitute for a workshop check of components the annual test did not flag.
