2018 Triumph Tiger 0.8L Petrol · LD18 CZH

The 2018 Triumph Tiger remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2026-01-20 at 2,532 miles. The vehicle has maintained a stable maintenance record, as all three MOT tests—2026, 2025, and 2021—showed no failures or advisories. This suggests consistent upkeep or minimal usage, though the absence of recorded issues does not confirm the absence of underlying concerns. The latest test at 2,532 miles indicates the bike has not been driven extensively in its eight-year lifespan. The mileage pattern reveals a four-year gap between the 2021 MOT (1,121 miles) and 2025 test (1,125 miles), followed by a sharp increase to 2,532 miles by 2026. This irregularity raises questions about storage conditions or intermittent use, which can accelerate component degradation. Low mileage over an extended period often correlates with dry rot in rubber parts, corrosion in metal components, or battery discharge. The lack of detailed defect reports in prior tests does not preclude these risks, particularly in a vehicle with such minimal active use. A buyer should inspect the bike for signs of inactivity, including cracked tyres, stiff suspension bushes, or corroded brake calipers, which may have deteriorated during periods of non-use. The absence of structural or mechanical advisories in the MOT history is reassuring, but the low mileage and sparse test intervals mean critical wear on consumables like the clutch or chain could go undetected. A physical inspection of the exhaust system, wheel bearings, and electrical connections is recommended to confirm the vehicle’s operational integrity.
