2016 Triumph Bonneville 1.2L Petrol · DT16 YWR

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, following a clean MOT pass in January 2026 at 8,784 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the motorcycle has passed its last three consecutive tests without any recorded defects. The absence of advisories in the most recent inspection suggests that the mechanical and structural components monitored by the tester currently meet all legal parameters despite the low annual usage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 878 miles per year. Data shows significant periods of inactivity, such as the seventeen-month gap between the July 2021 and December 2022 tests where only 123 miles were recorded. However, recent usage has increased, with 3,450 miles covered between March 2024 and January 2026. While low mileage limits wear on the drivetrain and engine, the irregular usage intervals can lead to degradation of fluids and rubber components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on risks associated with long-term storage. The February 2025 test at 6,156 miles flagged a front tyre worn to the legal limit of 1.6mm, indicating that low mileage does not prevent rubber degradation or uneven wear if de-parked. Inspect the tyres for flat spotting or sidew cracking, which are common in bikes that sit for extended periods. Additionally, check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and inspect the fork seals for perished perished, as these components often suffer when a vehicle is not used regularly.
