2005 Triumph Tiger 1.0L Petrol · PL05 NDN

The Triumph Tiger presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent DVSA test on 31 March 2025 at 42,944 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing the clean history seen in the two prior annual tests. The recorded mileage shows exceptionally low use for a 2005 machine. Between the 17 February 2023 test at 42,660 miles and the 5 April 2024 test at 42,855 miles the bike covered only 195 miles, then added just 89 miles to the March 2025 figure of 42,944. Over 21 years this equates to roughly 2,045 miles per year, with the three available records showing no rapid accumulation or concerning gaps beyond the sparse but consistent annual evidence. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean MOT ledger. Long standing periods implied by sub-100-mile annual use invite stale brake fluid, degraded rubber suspension bushes, and superficial corrosion on frame or exhaust components that a visual test may not capture. The absence of advisories across all three tests means no recurring mechanical faults exist in the record, yet tyres, chain tension, and brake disc condition warrant hands-on verification before purchase.
