Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to a persistent
The primary focus for any potential buyer should be the exhaust system. Since the 'Exhaust noisy' fault (8.1.1 (a)) has appeared in every single MOT test from 7,688 miles up to 11,366 miles, this is clearly not a one-off occurrence. You should demand evidence of whether the exhaust has been replaced, repaired, or if it is an aftermarket system that may not meet strict noise regulations.
Beyond the exhaust, check the overall condition of the 1050cc engine components and ensuring there are no signs of fluid leaks. Given the low mileage, inspect the tyres and brake discs for age-related degradation (perishing) rather than just tread wear, as the bike may have spent significant time stationary.
As a 1050cc petrol motorcycle, running costs will be higher than a smaller displacement commuter. Fuel economy will depend heavily on riding style, but you should budget for premium unleaded fuel. Insurance groups for Triumph naked bikes are typically mid-to-high, so obtain a quote based on your profile before purchasing.
Maintenance costs for a Speed Triple include regular chain lubrication, tyre replacements, and periodic valve clearances. Given the recorded exhaust issue, you should also factor in the potential cost of a new silencer or manifold if the current one is deemed non-compliant or structurally unsound.
The most critical item to inspect is the exhaust system. Because the MOT history shows a recurring 'Exhaust noisy' result (8.1.1 (a)) from 2022 through to 2026, you must check for loose mounting brackets, cracks in the manifold, or internal baffle damage. If an aftermarket exhaust is fitted, ensure it has the necessary dB markings and is securely attached.
Additionally, inspect the drive chain and sprockets for signs of rust or uneven wear, which can occur on low-mileage bikes that are not used frequently. Check the front forks for seal leaks and ensure the braking system is responsive, as these are standard inspection points for this model type.
This 2014 Triumph Speed Triple 1050cc in Black has covered 11,366 miles since its first registration in July 2014. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of failure/advisory for a noisy exhaust across every recorded test from 2022 to 2026. While the mileage is significantly lower than average for a twelve-year-old motorcycle, the repetitive nature of the exhaust issue is a notable trend.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Triumph Speed Triple to provide a comparative benchmark.
