2016 Triumph Tiger 0.8L Petrol · LL66 NVK

The Triumph Tiger presents a clean bill of health as of its most recent MOT on 10 February 2026 at 9,899 miles, where it passed with zero defects. The maintenance trend over the past seven years is stable and, more accurately, consistently clean. No recurring mechanical or structural faults appear in the record, and the single advisory noted in 2021 did not reappear at subsequent tests, suggesting the previous owner addressed the concern or that the component settled within acceptable tolerance. The mileage profile is unusually low for a 2016 machine. Across roughly ten years, the odometer has advanced just 9,899 miles, averaging approximately 990 miles annually. The interval between the July 2021 test at 6,355 miles and the June 2023 test at 7,202 miles shows only 847 miles covered in nearly two years, indicating prolonged periods of light use or standing. The gap then widened slightly, with 1,365 miles added between June 2023 and May 2024, before tapering to 1,365 miles over the following ten months leading to February 2026. Such low annual mileage can preserve consumables and drivetrain components but raises its own concerns around dried seals, stale fuel, and brake corrosion from infrequent use. The only defect on record appeared in July 2021, when the tester flagged a rear tyre worn close to the legal limit at 6,355 miles. That advisory did not recur at the 2023 or 2024 tests, and the February 2026 pass at 9,899 miles with no tyre-related findings suggests the rear tyre was replaced and wear has since remained within limits. No suspension, brake, exhaust, or structural corrosion issues have been recorded at any point in the vehicle's MOT history. A buyer should still carry out a physical inspection focused on areas that low-mileage, infrequently exercised motorcycles commonly suffer. Check the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion and binding calipers, particularly if the bike has stood for extended periods. Inspect all rubber seals, hoses, and fork stanchions for perishing or weeping, and examine the underside and frame welds for any signs of corrosion not visible during a standard MOT. Verify tyre date codes, as rubber ages regardless of tread depth, and confirm the chain and sprockets show no evidence of tight spots or uneven wear from prolonged static storage.
