2021 Triumph Bonneville T120 1.2L Petrol · HN71 SBV

The vehicle presents a strong roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend following a minor mechanical setback. The most recent inspection conducted on 24 October 2025 at 6,380 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the issues identified in the previous year were successfully rectified, and the motorcycle currently meets all DVSA safety and emissions standards without signs of mechanical degradation or structural concern. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a five-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,276 miles per year. Between the November 2024 test and the October 2025 test, the vehicle covered only 201 miles, suggesting the bike is used only for short-distance leisure or has sat in storage for extended periods. While this low mileage reduces the wear on the drivetrain, engine, and brake components, it increases the risk of flat-spotted tyres, seized calipers, and degradation of fluids if not maintained accordingly. The failure on 01 November 2024 at 6,179 miles, followed by a pass just five days later, suggests a specific minor item failure that required immediate attention rather than a systemic neglect issue. Since the subsequent tests show no recurring faults, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on signs of age-related decay rather than mechanical wear. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, check the age and hardness of the tyre rubber, and ensure the suspension seals have not perished despite the low usage levels.
