2005 Triumph Bonneville T 100 (865) 0.9L Petrol · HX05 LLC

This Triumph Bonneville T100 has maintained a consistent MOT pass status across all recorded tests, with the most recent inspection on 27 February 2026 confirming no defects. The absence of advisories or failings in any of the five consecutive tests suggests the vehicle has not experienced recurring mechanical failures or structural weaknesses during the standard MOT checks. However, the 6-month gap between the latest test and today’s date means the vehicle is now approaching its next MOT due date, which could reveal any emerging issues not yet captured in the record. The recorded mileage of 11,455 miles over approximately 21 years indicates an exceptionally low annual average of around 545 miles, well below typical usage patterns for a motorcycle of this age. This suggests prolonged periods of inactivity or storage, which may have mitigated some wear on high-mileage components like the engine or drivetrain. However, low mileage does not preclude other forms of deterioration, particularly in areas prone to environmental exposure such as suspension bushes, electrical connections, or corrosion-prone metalwork. The lack of mileage variation between tests—each spanning roughly 12–14 months—implies no sudden spikes in usage that might have accelerated wear. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear swingarm bushes and front fork seals, as these are often overlooked in low-mileage bikes but can degrade over time from static loading or moisture. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the bike has spent extended periods stationary. Corrosion checks are essential, particularly around the frame, exhaust, and fuel tank, as prolonged storage without maintenance can accelerate rust. Finally, the electrical system—including battery condition, wiring harnesses, and switchgear—should be tested, as these can degrade passively without regular use. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these areas are flawless, so thorough visual and functional assessment is advised.
