2014 Triumph Bonneville 0.9L Petrol · FJ14 LCK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift in the maintenance trend. While the motorcycle passed its April 2026 test at 16,517 miles, the tester flagged the front tyre and front brake pads as being close to their legal limits. This represents a departure from the three consecutive clean records between 2022 and 2025, suggesting that consumable components have finally reached the end of their service life. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,376 miles per year. The data shows a consistent, low-usage pattern, moving from 11,304 miles in April 2022 to 16,517 miles in April 2026. The gap of 1,516 miles between 2025 and 2026 tests indicates steady use, though such low mileage often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid perishability that an MOT test may not fully capture. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the front pads identified in the latest test are replaced before they damage the rotor discs. Given the low mileage, it is also vital to check the tyres for sidewall cracking or flat spotting, which frequently occur when vehicles sit for long periods regardless of tread depth. Inspect the fork seals for leaks and the chain for surface corrosion, as low-use cycles can lead to seized components over a decade.
