1997 Triumph Speed Triple 0.9L Petrol · P190 DFP

The 1997 Triumph Speed Triple presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 June 2025 at 32,620 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean MOT outcomes across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 32,620 miles against 29 years of age, an average of roughly 1,125 miles per year. The DVSA entries show light annual use: 32,315 miles in November 2022, 32,540 in October 2023, 32,565 in July 2024, and 32,620 in June 2025. A gap exists between the 2020 test at 29,361 miles and the 2022 test, during which 2,954 miles were covered. The clean record gives no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion to track. A buyer should still inspect the machine in person given its low use and age. Long standing periods risk perished rubber components, sticky calipers, and internal tank corrosion not visible to an MOT tester. The absence of flagged defects means no recurring mechanical faults demand follow-up, but a pre-purchase check of fork seals, chain and sprocket wear, and frame integrity remains sensible.
