2006 Triumph Bonneville 0.9L Petrol · OU06 ARZ

This Triumph Bonneville presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 29 May 2025 at 3,489 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to October 2020, indicating that the vehicle has met all minimum legal safety and emissions standards without requiring remedial work during these inspections. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 20-year-old motorcycle, averaging roughly 174 miles per year. The record shows very little usage over the last four years, with only 468 miles added between the October 2020 test at 3,021 miles and the May 2025 test at 3,489 miles. Such low activity suggests the bike has spent significant periods standing still, which often presents different mechanical risks than high-mileage wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by inactivity rather than wear. While the MOT record shows no failures, the low usage pattern makes it necessary to check for perished tyre rubber, seized brake calipers, and fuel system degradation. The absence of recorded advisories is positive, but the lack of mileage means the suspension seals and fork oil may have degraded due to age rather than use. Check for signs of corrosion on the frame and exhaust headers, as long-term storage in damp environments can lead to structural rust that a standard MOT might not flag unless it compromises integrity. Verifying the battery health and ensuring the engine oil has been changed regardless of mileage will be critical to confirming the bike is truly road-ready.
