2009 Triumph - 2.3L Petrol · OU58 FWM

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent string of passes over the last five years. The most recent test on 24 October 2025 at 10,990 miles recorded no defects or advisories, indicating that the motorcycle currently meets minimum legal standards. This clean history suggests a well-maintained asset that has not suffered from recurring mechanical or structural failures during the inspection periods. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 646 miles per year. Between October 2021 and October 2025, the vehicle covered only 293 miles, moving from 10,697 to 10,990 miles. Such minimal usage implies the bike likely sat stationary for long periods. While this reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, prolonged storage often introduces risks related to rubber-based components and fluid degradation that a standard MOT test may not fully capture in detail. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of components affected by age rather than mileage-related wear. Check specifically for cracking or perishalling in the tyres, brake hoses, and fuel lines, as low-use vehicles lead to dry seals and seized calipers. Examine the suspension seals and frame for signs of corrosion, as moisture can settle even when a vehicle is stationary. Additionally, verify the brake fluid and oil have been replaced recently, as these fluids absorb moisture over the long intervals between short rides.
