2005 Triumph Tiger 1.0L Petrol · NK55 EVM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 4 July 2025 at 25,439 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the motorcycle currently meets all minimum legal safety standards. This follows a period of clean records, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have been maintained adequately over the last several years. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twenty-one-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,211 miles per annum. Between June 2018 and 2021, the bike covered only 2,729 miles, reflecting long periods of storage or very infrequent use. The gap of 1,929 miles between the 2021 and 2025 tests further confirms this low-usage trend. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often increases the risk of degradation in rubber components and fluid seals due to age rather than friction. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to low-mileage storage and age. The June 2019 test flagged a rear tyre worn to the legal limit, which indicates that consumable maintenance was occasionally neglected despite low usage. Check the current condition of the tyres for cracking or dry rot, as the bike sits for long periods. Given the age, inspect the brake lines for perish, the suspension fork seals for weeping leaks, and the frame for any structural corrosion that may not have triggered a failure during a standard MOT test.
