2016 Triumph S 0.7L Petrol · KM65 ECV

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition having passed its most recent inspection in March 2026 at 17,900 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the motorcycle has consistently secured passes without any major defects or failures. While a recurring note regarding a noisy exhaust appeared in both 2023 and 2026, the lack of subsequent failures suggests the issue is cosmetic rather than structural or critical mechanical failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,790 miles per year. Between February 2022 and March 2026, the bike covered only 2,683 miles, indicating a pattern of very infrequent use or long periods of storage. This low usage generally results in minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and brake assemblies. However, such low mileage can sometimes mask underlying issues related to rubber degradation, perished seals, or corrosion on unbraked brake surfaces if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended durations. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the exhaust system due to the recurring noise faults noted in the 2023 and 2026 tests. The tester should check for loose hangers, heat shield vibration, or internal baffle damage that could cause noise without leaking emissions. Given the low annual mileage, it is also vital to inspect the tyres for flat spots or dry rot and to check brake fluid lines for cracking, as age often affects these components before tread wear on low-use vehicles.
