2007 Triumph Street Triple 0.7L Petrol · OU57 FDE

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a consistent trend of neglected consumable component replacement. The most recent test in July 2025 at 9,334 miles indicated a pass despite both front and rear brake pads reaching their minimum legal limits. This follows a multi-year pattern dating back to 2022 where the front pads were repeatedly flagged, suggesting the owner only addresses mechanical faults when a failure becomes imminent rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 500 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between April 2022 and July 2023, where the bike covered only 1,161 miles in fourteen months. While low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of standing often lead to age degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and fluid corrosion which are not fully captured by a standard MOT test. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system, as the recurring advisories for pads near the limit suggest the discs may also have suffered from surface rusting or glazing due to lack of regular use. The previous issues with the rear indicator lenses and housings in 2023 and 2024 indicate a tendency to overlook minor electrical and trim defects. Beyond the recorded faults, check the age of the tyres and brake hoses for cracking, as these components often fail due to age long before they reach their mileage limits.
