2012 Triumph Street Triple 0.7L Petrol · GV12 MXJ

The maintenance trend for this Triumph Street Triple is exceptionally stable, with the most recent MOT on 12 February 2025 resulting in a clear pass. The absence of recorded defects across the four most recent successful tests indicates a motorcycle that has been kept in a high state of mechanical readiness. The single failure recorded on 9 March 2023 appears to be a procedural anomaly or a minor administrative issue, as the machine passed a full inspection just twelve days later without any remedial work noted. With a current recorded mileage of 16,681 over fourteen years, the bike averages approximately 1,192 miles per annum. This low usage pattern suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods in storage or has been reserved for fair-weather weekend riding. While low mileage often preserves engine internals and chassis components, long-term inactivity can lead to specific issues such as fuel system degradation, perished rubber seals, or seized brake pistons. The consistent annual testing pattern since 2022 confirms the bike has remained road-legal and active despite the low total distance covered. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components prone to deterioration during long periods of standing. Check the brake calipers for signs of binding or fluid leaks, as low-mileage machines often suffer from seized pistons. Inspect the condition of the rubber hoses, tyres, and fork seals for dry rot or cracking, which are common symptoms of age-related fatigue rather than high-mileage wear. Given the clean MOT history, the structural integrity and emissions performance appear sound, but ensure the cooling system is free of corrosion and that the battery holds a charge sufficient for reliable cold starts.
