2021 Triumph Scrambler 1200 Steve Mcqueen 1.2L Petrol · ES60 APE

The vehicle presents an inconsistent roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT failure in February 2026 at 7,030 miles. While the bike passed two tests in 2024, the recent failure without recorded defects suggests an administrative anomaly or a specific mechanical fault that remains unaddressed. The maintenance trend appears unstable, as the transition from a clean pass to a failure indicates either a developing mechanical issue or a lack of proactive servicing during the long interval between testing periods. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a five-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,400 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between August 2024 and February 2026, during which the vehicle covered nearly 5,800 miles. This pattern of intermittent use suggests the bike may sit for long periods, which often leads to specific degradation issues related to rubber component decay, such as flat spots on tyres, perished seals in the brakinging system, or fluid oxidation, despite the low overall mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection to determine the cause of the February 2026 failure, as the digital record provides no technical data to guide the search. Given the low mileage and long intervals, focus on the state of the brake calipers for potential binding and the condition of the fork seals for leaks caused by inactivity. Inspect the drive chain for signs of rust or tension issues, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from neglected lubrication when left stationary. Check the structural integrity of the frame for any corrosion that might indicate the bike has been stored in a damp environment.
