2017 Triumph Thunderbird 1.7L Petrol · LS17 XGA

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 12 June 2026 at 8,711 miles passed with no defects recorded, mirroring the clean results of the previous four annual tests. This consistency suggests the motorcycle has remained in a good mechanical state and has not suffered from recurring component failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old machine, averaging under 970 miles per year. Data shows significant periods of low use, such as the 1,958-mile gap between June 2022 and August 2023, and the 1,894-mile increase between February 2024 and February 2025. While the low mileage indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests suggest the vehicle has sat stationary frequently. The record indicates the bike is used only for short, seasonal trips rather than regular long-distance commuting. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection must focus on components affected by low mileage and long periods of standing. The buyer should check for dry-rot or cracking in rubber elements, specifically fork seals, tyres, and brake fluid lines, which can perish over time regardless of distance traveled. Inspect the brake calipers for signs of seizing or corrosion, as infrequent use often leads to pistons sticking up. Additionally, verify the chain condition for surface rust and ensure the fuel system has not degraded or suffered moisture contamination during the long periods of inactivity.
