2015 Triumph Thunderbird 1.7L Petrol · G3 APR

The most recent MOT on 5 July 2023 at 2,150 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating the vehicle is currently roadworthy. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the preceding test on 29 June 2022 also passed without remarks. Across an eleven‑year lifespan the car has accumulated only 2,150 miles, averaging roughly 195 miles per year. The mileage rose from 1,863 miles at the 2022 test to 2,150 miles at the 2023 test, a modest increase of 287 miles in twelve months, showing no sudden spikes or prolonged idle periods. Such low utilisation suggests either light daily use or extended storage, both of which can affect rubber components and fluid condition despite the clean MOT record. A prospective buyer should therefore examine the condition of the tyre tread and sidewalls for cracking, verify that the suspension bushes and coil springs are free of corrosion or dry‑rubber brittleness, and check the brake discs and pads for uneven wear that may not have triggered a MOT advisory. Inspect the exhaust system for rust, confirm the battery terminals are clean and the electrolyte level is adequate, and look for any signs of structural rust on the chassis or undercarriage that prolonged inactivity could conceal. Confirm that all fluid levels – engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid – are at correct specifications before finalising purchase.
