2012 Triumph Speed Triple 1050 1.1L Petrol · FD61 KKW

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in August 2025 with 24,806 miles. The maintenance trend shows a recent sharp improvement following a significant failure in August 2025. In that specific test, the motorcycle failed due to a serious fluid leak on the offside front shock absorber and contamination of the offside front brake pads and disc. These mechanical issues were addressed immediately, as the bike re-tested just four days later with no defects recorded. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a fourteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging only under 1,800 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between January 2015 and January 2016, where the bike covered over 7,000 miles in twelve months. Since 2022, the usage has become minimal, with only 490 miles recorded over three years. This low mileage suggests the bike has spent long periods stationary, which can often lead to degradation of rubber-based components and fluid seals rather than mechanical wear from distance. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front fork assembly, as the record shows a progression from light oil misting in 2024 to a serious leak in 2025. It is vital to ensure the seals have been properly replaced and that no further weeping occurs. The brake contamination noted in the 2025 failure also warrants a close look at the offside discs and pads to ensure no residual oil or fluid has compromised the friction surface. Given the low usage, check the drive chain and sprockets for signs of seizing or rust, as the 2020 test already identified wear on these components.
