2013 Triumph Bonneville 0.9L Petrol · KM13 YYP

The 2013 Triumph Bonneville shows a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 16 April 2025 at 8,320 miles recording a pass and no defects. Earlier tests reveal consistent compliance. The sole anomaly appears on 25 April 2024 at 6,838 miles, where the DVSA logged both a fail and a pass on the same day with no defects listed for either; this points to an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits low for a thirteen-year-old machine. The 1 April 2022 test captured 3,397 miles. By 7 April 2023 the odometer read 5,656 miles, a 2,259-mile gain. The following year to 25 April 2024 added 1,182 miles, reaching 6,838. The latest test shows 8,320 miles, a 1,482-mile increase. Average yearly use of about 640 miles suggests extended dormancy. The MOT dataset is clean and sparse, with no advisories across five examinations. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection focused on age-related deterioration that MOT entries omit. Standing vehicles often develop hardened suspension bushes, leaking fork seals, and binding brake calipers; the tester would not necessarily flag these without defect. Examine the frame and exhaust for corrosion, check tyre sidewalls for cracking despite adequate tread, and verify chain tension and sprocket wear. The rear shock and front forks demand scrutiny for weepage. Low mileage masks none of these time-driven faults.
