2016 Triumph Speed Triple 1.1L Petrol · HF16 WTA

This Triumph Speed Triple presents a clean bill of health on paper. The most recent MOT on 30 April 2026 at 22,962 miles passed with zero defects, and that result is not an anomaly. Every single test in the record, stretching back to March 2022, has passed with no advisories or failures whatsoever. The maintenance trend is stable and consistently strong, indicating a motorcycle that has been kept in sound mechanical order with no recurring faults. The mileage profile tells a specific story. At roughly 2,300 miles per year, this is exceptionally low for a 2016 machine. The annual increments are modest and fairly consistent, moving from 18,101 miles in March 2022 to 22,962 miles by April 2026, a gain of just 4,861 miles over four years. There are no sudden jumps suggesting intensive use, nor suspiciously large gaps that might indicate long-term storage without proper preservation. The 2025 test occurred in May at 22,019 miles, and the 2026 test followed at the end of April at 22,962 miles, confirming continued light but regular use right up to the present. Despite the flawless MOT record, a low-mileage motorcycle of this age demands a careful physical inspection. Components deteriorate with time as well as mileage, so a buyer should check the condition of rubber suspension bushes, fork seals, and brake hoses for perishing or cracking, even if no faults were flagged. Tyres and brake discs may show age-related wear or surface corrosion from prolonged standing. The exhaust system and fasteners should be examined for corrosion, particularly if the bike has been garaged in variable conditions. A test ride is essential to confirm smooth clutch operation, precise gearbox shifting, and stable braking feel, as these are not always fully captured in a static MOT inspection.
