2002 Triumph Thunderbird 0.9L Petrol · DG02 GUJ

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT pass results. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 25,717 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, maintaining a trend of perfect scores seen over the previous years. This stability suggests that the mechanical and structural components have been maintained to a standard that avoids immediate failure or recurring safety-related issues. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,072 miles per year. Between September 2020 and September 2025, the vehicle covered only 2,872 miles, indicating it is likely used sporadically or stored for long periods. The gap between the 2021 and 2023 tests shows a slight lull in usage, but the overall accumulation remains consistent with fair use. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid chemistry. Despite the clean record, a physical inspection must focus on the risks associated with low-mileage storage. A buyer should check for perished fuel lines, cracked brake hoses, and perished fork seals which occur due to age rather than distance. The tyres should be examined for flat spotting or age cracking in the sidewalls, as MOT tests do not measure the structural integrity of rubber. Additionally, verify the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, ensuring that the calipers have not seized during periods of inactivity.
