Our Verdict
This Triumph Tiger presents a solid case
When inspecting this Triumph Tiger, focus on the braking system given the 2023 advisory regarding slight fluctuation in brake effort. Ensure that the front discs and pads have been inspected or replaced since that test to confirm the issue has been resolved. Check the physical condition of all reflectors, as the 2024 failure for a missing rear reflector suggests these small components may be prone to vibration-induced damage or loss.
Verify that the motorcycle has been serviced in line with Triumph's schedule, as MOT records do not confirm mechanical servicing. Pay close attention to the chain and sprocket condition, as well as the headstock bearings, which are common areas of wear on adventure-style motorcycles of this age and mileage.
As an 800cc machine, this Tiger falls into a mid-range insurance bracket. Fuel economy will vary significantly based on riding style, but owners generally see respectable figures for the adventure segment. Tax is calculated based on standard motorcycle rates for the vehicle's engine size.
Maintenance costs should include regular oil and filter changes, along with periodic valve clearance checks as specified by the Triumph service manual. Factoring in insurance, fuel, and annual consumables like tyres and chain kits, you should budget accordingly for ongoing upkeep.
Begin your physical inspection by checking the front brake discs for any signs of scoring or uneven wear, referencing the 2023 MOT advisory. Test the operation of the front and rear brakes to ensure there is no pulsing sensation at the lever or pedal. Check all plastic trim and reflectors for security, as the 2024 MOT failure highlighted the vulnerability of these small parts.
Examine the bike for general signs of wear consistent with 27,166 miles, including the condition of the fork seals and rear shock absorber. Ensure all lights and electrical systems are functioning correctly, as these are common failure points on motorcycles that have seen regular use.
This 2018 Triumph Tiger in silver has covered 27,166 miles since its registration in June 2018. Its MOT history shows a clean record for the last three tests, with only one minor failure for a missing rear reflector in 2024 and an advisory for brake fluctuation in 2023. The vehicle has maintained a steady usage pattern, and the lack of recent defects is a positive indicator of its current state.
While aggregate data for this specific model is not available, the individual MOT history for this vehicle shows no recurring mechanical faults.
