2014 Triumph Tiger 0.8L Petrol · NG14 AEJ

The vehicle presents as a roadworthy asset with a currently stable maintenance trend following a period of concern. The most recent inspection in June 2024 at 14,349 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that previous mechanical issues have been addressed. This clean sheet suggests that the motorcycle is currently maintained in a good state of repair regarding its primary safety components. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 12-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,200 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between May 2020 and June 2021, where the bike covered only 1,526 miles in a year, which often points to periods of standing. While the low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of inactivity can lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid chemistry, which likely aligns with the historical failures seen despite the low distance travelled. A prospective buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension assembly, as the record shows a failure at 14,089 miles due to an excessively worn front shock absorber bush. Although this was rectified, other rubber-related components and bushes should be checked for cracking or dry rot due to the vehicle's age and low usage. Additionally, the 2017 failure regarding tyres worn to the legal limit indicates that consumables may have been neglected in the past until failure, so a thorough check of the current tyre age and sidewall condition is essential to Ensure they have not perished from age.
