2020 Triumph Tiger 0.8L Petrol · CX70 BFY

The 2020 Triumph Tiger remains roadworthy based on its MOT history, with no defects recorded in its two most recent tests. The October 2024 inspection at 8,116 miles confirmed compliance, and the prior September 2023 test at 5,704 miles also passed without issues. This consistent record suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements, with no emerging mechanical or structural concerns flagged. The absence of advisories or failures indicates the previous owner prioritized basic upkeep, though the low mileage raises questions about long-term component health. The bike’s mileage of 8,116 miles over six years equates to approximately 1,353 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. A 14-month gap between the 2023 and 2024 MOTs saw a 2,412-mile increase, averaging 1,723 miles per year during that period. This irregularity, combined with the overall low usage, suggests potential periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on seals, suspension bushes, and braking systems. The sparse defect history does not confirm proactive maintenance beyond legal compliance, leaving room for hidden issues linked to infrequent use. A buyer should inspect for signs of corrosion, particularly in underbody areas and around exhaust mounts, given the low mileage and possible storage conditions. Suspension components, including coil springs and bushings, may exhibit stiffness or premature wear from limited operation. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as inactivity can cause friction-related damage. Additionally, tyre condition and oil viscosity should be verified, as prolonged storage might mask underlying issues not detected in MOT tests.
