2007 Triumph Tiger 1050 1.1L Petrol · GX57 FME

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, though minor mechanical issues appear sporadically. The most recent test in March 2026 at 44,763 miles identified only minor wear on the rear drive chain sprocket, which did not reach the threshold for failure. This follows a pass in February 2025 where a binding rear brake was noted, suggesting that while the owner addresses primary faults, some issues are monitored until they escalate into significant mechanical failures. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 2,356 miles per year. Between June 2022 and March 2026, the bike covered only 2,924 miles, indicating a pattern of infrequent use or long periods of stationary storage. While this low mileage reduces overall wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, long periods of standing often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, such as perished seals, brittle fuel lines, and seized calipers which the MOT does not always detect. A buyer should focus their physical inspection specifically on the braking system and drive assembly. The 2025 report of a binding rear brake necessitates a check for seized caliper pistons or corroded slider pins, common in low-use vehicles. Additionally, the worn rear sprocket noted in 2026 requires a thorough examination of the chain tension and condition to ensure no catastrophic failure is imminent. Given the 2023 failure regarding an ineffective fuel cap and lighting issues, verify the integrity of the fuel system and the electrical wiring for the rear light cluster to ensure no corrosion or ingress is present.
