2004 Triumph Speed Triple 955I 1.0L Petrol · LX04 AEW

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with a history of passes and minimal defects over the last five tests. The most recent inspection on 11 July 2026 resulted in a pass following a single failure for a non-functional front stop lamp, an issue that was rectified on the same day. This pattern indicates a stable mechanical state regarding the components specifically evaluated during the annual MOT process. The recorded mileage of 22,416 miles is low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 1,019 miles per year. Such a low annual accumulation rate indicates the motorcycle has been used sparingly over its twenty-two year lifespan. Mechanically, this usage profile suggests that the drivetrain and consumables have experienced less operational wear than a high-mileage equivalent. Given the absence of recorded advisories across the recent testing history, there are no specific mechanical defects such as suspension wear, brake line degradation, or structural corrosion flagged by the DVSA. The only recorded failure was a minor electrical fault with the front stop lamp, which was resolved immediately. A prospective buyer should verify the full operation of all lighting and signaling circuits during the initial inspection to ensure no further intermittent electrical issues exist. During a test drive, the focus should be on the general operation of the motorcycle's controls and drivetrain. While the MOT record shows no failures for brakes or steering, the low mileage suggests a need to confirm that the brake calipers are not binding and that the steering head remains smooth. These checks provide a necessary complement to the MOT history, as the standard test primarily focuses on safety and emissions rather than overall mechanical refinement.
