2001 Triumph T 0.8L Petrol · FH51 HVC

The 2001 Triumph T presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent DVSA test on 25 September 2025 at 46,769 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the prior four years. Recorded mileage shows exceptionally light use for a 25-year-old machine. The odometer moved from 46,150 miles at the 14 September 2021 test to 46,769 miles by September 2025, a total of 619 miles over four years or roughly 155 miles per annum. Such low accumulation points to long stationary periods rather than regular running, with no gaps in annual testing to suggest lapsed registration. A clean MOT sheet with zero advisories across all five entries means the tester flagged no worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, failing brake discs, or exhaust faults at each examination. The previous keeper clearly kept the vehicle to a standard that satisfied DVLA roadside criteria year on year. Despite the spotless record, a buyer should still inspect the Triumph in person for age-related issues a pass test may miss. Check tyre sidewall cracking from standing, seized calipers after disuse, and hidden frame corrosion beneath the bodywork. Confirm the brake lines and fork seals show no weep before committing to purchase.
