2011 Triumph Speed Triple 1.1L Petrol · LG61 GVX

The vehicle remains roadworthy as evidenced by its most recent MOT pass on 9 May 2026 at 13,103 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the bike consistently passing inspections over the last four years. However, the most recent test flagged a front tyre worn dangerously close to the legal limit, indicating that while the motorcycle is mechanically sound enough to pass, basic consumable upkeep is beginning to be neglected despite the low annual usage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 15-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 874 miles per year. Between April 2022 and May 2026, the bike covered only 3,258 miles, showing a consistent pattern of infrequent use rather than long-term storage gaps. This low mileage suggests that the drivetrain and engine components have minimal mechanical wear, but it increases the likelihood of age-related rubber degradation, perished seals, and fluid contamination which often occurs when a vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the front wheel bearings, as the tester noted they were slightly rough during the April 2023 test at 11,280 miles. Although the bike passed subsequent tests, wheel bearings can deteriorate rapidly if ignored and require replacement to prevent future play. The recurring requirement to replace tyres due to tread depth rather than mileage since 2023 suggests the owner waits for a failure point rather than performing proactive maintenance. Given the age relative to the low mileage, a thorough check for cracking in the fork seals and corrosion on the brake discs is essential to ensure the components have not become brittle from disuse.
