2013 Triumph Trophy 1.2L Petrol · CY13 BYL

The 2013 Triumph Trophy presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 May 2025 at 25,021 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean annual examinations since at least June 2021. Annual mileage sits low for a thirteen-year-old machine. The record shows 14,315 miles in June 2021, rising to 16,387 by June 2022, 19,167 in June 2023, 24,490 in July 2024, and 25,021 in May 2025. That averages roughly 1,925 miles per year. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear; the bike has covered only 531 miles in the twelve months before its last test. Such light use over a long period implies the Trophy has spent extended intervals stationary, which commonly allows tyres to harden, brake calipers to seize, and coolant or brake fluid to degrade despite a clean MOT sheet. A buyer should physically verify components the MOT does not probe under static testing. Inspect the front and rear suspension linkages and swingarm bearings for corrosion or play, as standing moisture accelerates wear on a low-use machine. Check brake discs for pitting and confirm the calipers are not binding after the long idle periods implied by the mileage. Examine the chassis and exhaust for structural rust, particularly around the subframe and centre stand mounts. The absence of advisories across five tests suggests conscientious presentation by previous owners, but the record alone cannot confirm hidden deterioration from infrequent running. A pre-purchase inspection remains warranted.
