2017 Triumph Speed Triple 1.1L Petrol · LB17 CKA

The Triumph Speed Triple presents a clean roadworthiness record with a stable maintenance trend, as evidenced by five consecutive MOT passes since 2022. The most recent test in May 2026 at 16,319 miles recorded zero defects, matching the outcome of every preceding annual inspection. This consistent pass history indicates no recurring mechanical or structural failures have been present during this period. Mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,813 miles annually. The recorded data shows a gradual increase from 11,705 miles in June 2022 to 16,319 miles in May 2026, a gain of just 4,614 miles over four years. This pattern suggests either very light, sporadic use or extended periods of storage, rather than consistent seasonal riding. Such low utilisation can mask age-related degradation in components like tyres, brake discs, and suspension seals, which may deteriorate from environmental exposure rather than wear. A buyer should conduct a hands-on inspection focused on components susceptible to low-use deterioration. Examine tyres for sidewall cracking or age-related hardening, even if tread depth appears adequate. Test the braking system for binding calipers or disc corrosion, as infrequent use can cause seizing. Check suspension for dried-out seals or bushes that may have perished. Inspect the exhaust system and frame for any concealed corrosion, particularly if the bike was stored in damp conditions. While the MOT history is exemplary, the low annual mileage necessitates a thorough assessment for age-related wear rather than consumable depletion.
