2016 Triumph Tiger 1.1L Petrol · MF66 TXK

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently good, but the maintenance history reveals a clear trend of worsening wear that necessitates immediate attention. The most recent MOT test on 2026-05-14 was passed at 15,778 miles with no recorded defects, indicating that the car has not yet suffered from the specific mechanical failures that would cause a failure. However, the previous MOTs show a distinct pattern of progressive deterioration. The 2025-05-09 test at 14,302 miles flagged critical issues including front brake pads approaching the minimum limit and worn front tyres near the legal limit, suggesting that the wear rate has accelerated significantly since the initial passing test. This rapid accumulation of wear is not typical for a vehicle of its age and indicates that basic upkeep was likely skipped or that the vehicle has been driven under conditions that accelerated mechanical stress. The mileage pattern shows a significant gap between the most recent test and the most recent MOT, which is a critical indicator of potential structural risks. The car was tested on 2026-06-17 at 15,778 miles, yet the most recent MOT was recorded in 2025-05-09 at 14,302 miles. This 1,478-mile gap means the vehicle has not undergone a full annual inspection cycle within the last two years, leaving the system vulnerable to wear that could manifest as binding calipers or seized bushings. The data points to a rapid accumulation of wear that is more likely to cause immediate failure than the gradual degradation seen in older vehicles. The lack of a full MOT in the last two years suggests that the vehicle has been driven for over a year without the necessary preventative maintenance, increasing the risk of catastrophic failure. A buyer should inspect the car in person to verify the condition of critical components such as the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain, given the history of worn tyres and brake pads. While the tyre wear is minimal (close to the legal limit), it is still approaching the limit, indicating that the vehicle is not in peak condition. The brake pad condition at the 2025-05-09 test is particularly concerning, as pads approaching the minimum limit often indicate that the brake fluid has degraded or that the pads are worn down to a state where they are prone to failure. The central rear tyre wear at the 2022-09-08 test further corroborates this pattern, showing that the vehicle has had a history of tyre wear without addressing it. In summary, the vehicle is roadworthy but the maintenance trend is worsening, and the mileage gap suggests that a full annual inspection is required to rule out any hidden structural issues.
