2004 Triumph Speed Master 0.8L Petrol · GX04 KXF

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a clear improving trend in mechanical compliance. The most recent MOT test on 11 March 2026 at 14,486 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that previous issues identified in earlier tests have been addressed. While the history shows failures in the two preceding years, the clean sheet from the latest inspection suggests the current owner is proactive in rectifying mechanical faults flagged by the tester. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 658 miles per year. Between April 2024 at 11,915 miles and March 2025 at 13,905 miles, the vehicle covered 1,990 miles, which represents a slight but still consistent increase in use. This low mileage reduces linear wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it often introduces risks associated with rubber degradation, perished seals, and brake caliper corrosion from the vehicle standing for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific components that caused the previous failures in April 2024 and March 2025, as the record does not detail the exact reasons for those rejections. Given the age and low usage, it is vital to check for sidew cracking on the tyres and the integrity of the fork seals despite the deep tread remaining. Inspect the brake discs for surface pitting and ensure the calipers are not binding, as low-frequency use often leads to seized pistons or internal fluid-related corrosion that can compromise braking performance.
