2006 Triumph Bonneville 0.8L Petrol · KX06 DLN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes following an early failure. The most recent test in July 2022 at 8,329 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the motorcycle has been maintained to a high standard during its last inspection. Since the failure in 2014, the bike has cleared every annual test without incident, suggesting that the mechanical and structural integrity remains sound despite the vehicle's age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twenty-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 416 miles per year. Data shows a significant period of inactivity between 2018 and 2021, where the vehicle covered only 532 miles over three years. The gap between 2021 and 2022 shows only 144 miles driven, further confirming that this is a rarely used. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between use often mask risks related to age-related degradation rather than mechanical wear from distance. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by long-term storage, specifically the condition of rubber hoses, perished seals, and flat spots on tyres. Although the MOT record does not flag structural corrosion or brake issues, it is vital to verify that the brake calipers have not seized and that the fluid has not degraded. Given the 2014 failure for a headlamp aim and worn tyre, verify that the electrical alignment remains correct and that the tyres are not showing significant cracking despite having ample tread depth.
