2017 Triumph Speed Triple 1.1L Petrol · LD67 UFR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive repairs. While the most recent test on 14 June 2025 at 5,630 miles passed, it followed a failure just eight days prior at the same mileage. That failure identified both front and rear brake pads as reaching the minimum legal limit, alongside a non-functional rear stop lamp. This pattern suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical defects when forced by an MOT test failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 626 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between the October 2020 test at 4,172 miles and the March 2024 test at 4,522 miles, during which the bike covered only 350 miles over nearly three years. While low mileage reduces general wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of inactivity often lead to secondary issues not captured by mileage such as seized calipers, flat spots on tyres, or the degradation of rubber seals and fuel systems. A buyer must physically inspect the braking system closely, as the recurring advisories for worn pads across 2024, 2025, and 2026 indicate the components are being run to the point of failure. Given the low usage, the inspector should check for corrosion on the brake discs and seized calipers, which occur when vehicles sit stationary for long durations. Additionally, the age of the tyres and hoses should be verified, as rubber dries out long before the tread wears away on low-mileage machines.
