2012 Triumph Speed Triple 1.1L Petrol · JU57 CAP

The MOT history reveals an unbroken record of first-time passes across all seven recorded tests, concluding with a defect-free pass on 2 September 2023. However, relative to August 2026, the machine has lacked a valid MOT certificate for nearly two years, representing an extended lapse in official roadworthiness records. Prior to the clean September 2023 result, the historical record demonstrated a recurring pattern of minor consumable and drivetrain wear rather than severe structural or mechanical failures. At 37,102 miles, the motorcycle has accrued roughly 2,650 miles per year since its 2012 registration, reflecting light overall road use. The testing schedule exhibits irregular intervals rather than strict annual submissions, notably spanning 18 months between April 2017 and October 2018, 17 months between December 2019 and May 2021, and over two years before the September 2023 test. These intervals, combined with the total absence of test records after 2023, suggest intermittent usage and possible extended periods off the road. An on-site inspection should focus directly on the components highlighted across previous testing cycles. Testers recorded advisories for a slightly loose rear drive chain across three consecutive examinations in October 2018, December 2019, and May 2021, making it essential to assess chain tension, link binding, and front and rear sprocket wear. Front brake pads were likewise flagged as approaching the legal minimum in both December 2019 and May 2021. Given the multi-year gap since the last test, a buyer must thoroughly examine front brake pad depth, brake disc runout, caliper operation, fork seal integrity, and tyre sidewalls for perishing associated with prolonged standing.
