2010 Triumph Bonneville T 100 (865) 0.9L Petrol · DA10 XSY

The vehicle presents in a roadworthy state, maintaining a stable maintenance trend across its documented history. The most recent MOT test in April 2025 at 16,404 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just three days prior at 16,384 miles. While the failure record lacks specific details, the immediate rectification suggests a minor administrative issue or a simple component adjustment that was quickly addressed, indicating a proactive approach to mechanical compliance. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap in the data between December 2021 at 13,398 miles and February 2023 at 22,237 miles, where the vehicle covered nearly 9,000 miles in just fourteen months. However, the recorded mileage actually dropped significantly between the 2024 test of 23,546 miles and the 2025 test of 16,404 miles. This discrepancy suggests a potential odometer recording error or a clerical mistake that requires physical verification before purchase. Given the clean MOT history and the low annual usage, a physical inspection should focus on degradation caused by age and inactivity rather than wear. A buyer must inspect rubber components, including tyres, brake lines, and seals, for cracking or perish rot which often occurs when vehicles sit stationary. The brakes should be checked for seized calipers or rusted discs, as low-use bikes frequently suffer from surface oxidation. Additionally, the structural integrity of the frame and suspension components should be examined to ensure corrosion has not compromised the metal despite the lack of heavy mechanical stress.
