2018 Triumph Bonneville 1.2L Petrol · FV18 EEZ

The maintenance trend for this 2018 Triumph Bonneville is entirely stable, reflecting a vehicle that has required zero mechanical intervention throughout its recorded history. The most recent MOT test on 12 May 2025 at 4,490 miles passed with no defects or advisories, confirming the motorcycle currently meets all structural and mechanical roadworthiness standards. This unblemished record indicates a previous owner who either maintained the bike meticulously or simply used it sparingly enough to avoid component degradation. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old machine, averaging just 561 miles annually. Looking at the chronological data, the odometer read 1,189 miles on 8 June 2022, rising to 1,745 miles by 5 June 2023, then 2,879 miles on 30 May 2024, and finally reaching 4,490 miles on 12 May 2025. While the annual mileage accumulation is gradually increasing—from 556 miles between 2022 and 2023 to 1,611 miles between 2024 and 2025—the total distance covered remains negligible. Such prolonged periods of standing can cause unique issues not reflected in the MOT data. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must inspect specific perishable components that deteriorate through age and inactivity rather than mileage. Check the tyre sidewalls for date codes and surface cracking, as rubber perishes when a motorcycle stands unused for long durations. Examine the brake system for seized calipers and corroded brake discs, as infrequent use often causes pads to bind and discs to surface rust. Assess the suspension seals and fork stanchions for pitting, and verify the condition of the battery and fuel system, as stale fuel and discharged cells are common casualties of low-mileage storage.
