2006 Triumph Bonneville 0.9L Petrol · OU56 AFY

The Triumph Bonneville is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 13 December 2025 at 7 483 miles passing cleanly. The vehicle’s maintenance trend is stable; all subsequent tests since January 2024 have recorded no defects, indicating consistent care and no emerging issues. The earlier failure on 24 August 2022 at 6 091 miles is an outlier, as the entry also notes no defects, suggesting a possible clerical anomaly rather than a genuine fault. Mileage accumulation has been minimal over the car’s life. Between 6 543 miles on 6 January 2024 and 7 117 miles on 14 December 2024 the odometer moved only 574 miles, and a further 366 miles were added by December 2025. This equates to roughly 374 miles per year, far below typical usage for a 20‑year‑old motorcycle. The flat period between the 2022 tests and the modest gains in 2024 point to extended periods of inactivity, which can preserve mechanical components but may also encourage corrosion in storage. A prospective buyer should still conduct a hands‑on inspection of key systems. Check the brake discs and calipers for corrosion or uneven wear, examine suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or hardening, and assess tyre tread depth and pressure across all wheels. Verify the exhaust for rust or leaks, test the battery capacity, and request any available service records to confirm that the low mileage has been maintained under proper storage conditions. These checks will confirm whether the clean MOT history reflects genuine mechanical health or merely low usage.
