2012 Triumph Street Triple 0.7L Petrol · LB12 FBD

The maintenance trend for this 2012 Triumph Street Triple remains entirely stable, with the most recent MOT on 14 May 2025 at 1,562 miles passing without a single defect. The absence of any recorded advisories or failures across the entire history indicates a motorcycle that has required no mechanical corrections to meet roadworthiness standards. This clean record suggests a previous owner who kept the machine in sound operating condition, avoiding the typical deterioration seen on higher-mileage examples. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally low usage, accumulating just 1,562 miles over fourteen years, which equates to roughly 112 miles annually. A notable gap exists between the September 2017 test at 1,455 miles and the June 2021 test at 1,462 miles, during which the motorcycle covered a mere seven miles. Subsequent tests show slightly more frequent use, with 28 miles added between 2021 and 2022, 23 miles between 2022 and 2023, and 49 miles between 2023 and 2025. Such minimal accumulation points to prolonged periods of standing rather than regular riding. Despite the flawless MOT record, a buyer must inspect the physical consequences of prolonged inactivity. Tyres will likely exhibit sidewall cracking and perishing rather than tread wear, requiring immediate replacement regardless of remaining depth. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, so the system likely suffers from a low boiling point, and calipers may show signs of binding or corrosion from sitting stationary. Suspension seals and bushes can perish without regular movement, leading to weeping fork seals or degraded damping. The chain and sprockets require close scrutiny for surface rust, and the fuel system may suffer from stale petrol causing running issues or injector blockages. While the MOT records show no structural corrosion, a physical inspection of the frame welds and exhaust system remains prudent to confirm the integrity of a machine that has spent the vast majority of its life stationary.
