2017 Triumph Thruxton 1.2L Petrol · GD17 CNJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in July 2025 at 4,805 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a shift from a reactive state in mid-2024 to a stable period of compliance. Following a failure in August 2024, the owner addressed the identified mechanical and presentation issues, resulting in a clean sheet for the subsequent test nearly a year later. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 534 miles per year. Between the August 2022 test at 3,844 miles and the July 2025 test at 4,805 miles, the bike covered only 961 miles. This pattern suggests the vehicle sits stationary for long periods, which can lead to secondary issues such as perished rubber components, seized seals, or fluid degradation, despite the low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A buyer must perform a close physical inspection of the rear wheel assembly as the August 2024 failure flagged a slightly loose spoke. While this was likely rectified, low-mileage bikes can suffer from tension loss if not regularly checked. The record also notes front brake pads and a rear tyre reaching legal limits in 2024; the buyer should verify the remaining life of the pads and check the tyres for age cracking rather than tread depth. Additionally, given the history of deteriorating registration plates in 2023 and 2024, ensure the current plate is clear and meets all DVSA standards.
