2013 Triumph Street Triple ABS 0.7L Petrol · K28 RTH

The Triumph Street Triple ABS shows a stable and exemplary roadworthiness record, with every MOT test since 2022 passing without any recorded defects or advisories. The most recent inspection on 2025-03-27 confirmed full compliance at 16,055 miles, reinforcing the absence of recurring issues. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a level that meets or exceeds DVSA standards, though no test explicitly addresses wear items like suspension bushes or brake pads, which are not MOT-tested beyond failure thresholds. The recorded mileage of 16,055 miles over 13 years—approximately 1,235 miles annually—indicates unusually light usage for a vehicle of this age. The gap between tests in 2023 (a single failed attempt on 2023-07-05 followed by a pass on the same day) is unusual but does not imply mechanical failure, as no defects were logged. The steady accumulation of just 835 miles between the 2022 and 2023 tests, followed by another 1,135 miles to the 2024 test, suggests the bike was either stored or used sparingly during those periods. This low mileage reduces the likelihood of severe wear on high-stress components like the drivetrain or suspension, though it does not preclude neglect in other areas. Given the lack of MOT-recorded faults, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components—particularly the rear swingarm bushes and front fork seals—due to the bike’s age and potential for hidden deterioration. The brakes, while not failed, should be checked for uneven pad wear or glazing, as ABS-equipped systems can mask subtle binding or caliper issues until they become critical. Structural integrity is another concern; examine the frame for corrosion around the fuel tank and exhaust mounts, as standing vehicles are prone to moisture-related degradation. Finally, verify the condition of the tyres, as the absence of MOT failures does not confirm recent tread depth or sidewall integrity. The clean MOT history is reassuring, but physical inspection remains essential to validate the bike’s true condition beyond testable parameters.
