2016 Triumph Bonneville 0.9L Petrol · DA16 VJC

The Triumph Bonneville presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 March 2025 at 8,340 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken four-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. The recorded mileage shows exceptionally light use for a 2016 machine. Between the 17 March 2022 test at 7,844 miles and the 28 March 2025 test at 8,340 miles the odometer advanced only 496 miles across three years, averaging under 170 miles annually. Each annual test captured marginal increments: 8,059 miles in March 2023, 8,183 miles in March 2024. The DVSA history is sparse and entirely clean, with no advisories or failures logged at any point. A buyer should still physically verify components that static records cannot expose. Long standing periods at this low mileage risk perished suspension bushes, seized calipers, and internal corrosion in the exhaust or fuel system despite absent emissions flags. The tester noted no structural integrity issues, yet ten years of inactivity invite hidden rust at frame junctions and fork seals. Inspect the brake discs for pitting from disuse and confirm tyre sidewalls are not cracked from age rather than wear. The owner clearly stored the machine well, but a pre-purchase check of the clutch, chain tension, and electrical loom remains prudent given the minimal recorded running.
