2016 Triumph Thruxton 1.2L Petrol · EY16 HJC

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT pass recorded in April 2026 at 10,076 miles. This follows a single advisory in March 2025 at 9,257 miles regarding a noisy exhaust, which appears to have been resolved prior to the most recent inspection. Aside from that specific instance, the testing history shows no recurring mechanical failures or structural defects, suggesting a consistent standard of upkeep over the last several years. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2016 model, averaging approximately 1,000 miles per year. The records show a steady, incremental increase in distance, moving from 5,329 miles in June 2019 to 10,076 miles in April 2026. This low-use pattern suggests the motorcycle has spent significant time stationary, which can sometimes lead to degradation in rubber components or fluids despite the low odometer reading. A physical inspection should focus on the impact of long periods of standing. While the 2019 test flagged front and rear tyres worn close to the legal limit, the current record shows no such issues, so the buyer should verify the age and condition of the rubber to ensure no dry rot has occurred. The noisy exhaust noted in March 2025 warrants a check for loose mounting hardware or internal baffle damage to confirm the issue was fully rectified. Beyond the documented history, the low annual mileage means the drivetrain and suspension components may have seen limited mechanical cycling. I recommend inspecting the drive chain for corrosion or seizing and checking the brake fluid for moisture contamination, as these are common issues on low-mileage vehicles that sit for extended periods.
