2021 Triumph Trident 0.7L Petrol · LB21 ETZ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a minor trend of reactive rather proactive upkeep. The most recent test on 22 May 2026 at 10,190 miles flagged two issues: a front tyre worn near the legal limit and a slightly loose drive chain. While the bike passed the test, the recurrence of chain issues suggests that components are only addressed once they reach inspection thresholds rather than during scheduled preventative servicing. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a five-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 2,038 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 9,303 miles and the May 2026 test at 10,190 miles, the vehicle covered only 887 miles over two years. This low rate of use explains the lack of mechanical wear on the drivetrain, engine, and braking components, but such low mileage can also lead to flat spotting on tyres or the degradation of rubber seals if the bike sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the drive chain tension and sprocket condition, as this was noted as a defect in both 2024 and 2026. The front tyre requires immediate replacement as it is operating at the legal limit, which indicates uneven wear despite the low overall mileage. Given the low usage, also check for perished or cracking on the sidewalls and fork seals, as these materials often age faster than they wear on vehicles driven infrequently.
