2018 Triumph Tiger 1.2L Petrol · EO68 ONJ

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift towards consumable component wear. The most recent test conducted in December 2025 at 3,675 miles flagged the rear brake pads as being close to the minimum limit. This follows an advisory from December 2024 where the front tyre was noted to be near the legal limit. While the motorcycle consistently passes its inspections, these entries indicate that parts are reaching replacement intervals despite the low usage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 459 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between December 2021 and January 2023, during which the vehicle covered only 820 miles. Since early 2023, usage has increased slightly, covering nearly 2,000 miles in two years. This pattern suggests the vehicle has likely spent long periods stationary, which can often lead to flat-spotting tyres or the degradation of rubber components rather than traditional mechanical wear. A buyer should physically inspect the braking system to ensure the calipers have not seized from lack of use, given the recent warning on thin rear pads. The low mileage increases the risk of perished seals or degraded fluid, so a thorough check of the brake lines and hydraulic hoses is essential. Additionally, examine the tyres for sidew cracking or dry rot, as the age of the rubber far exceeds the tread depth mileage.
