2015 Triumph S 0.7L Petrol · RE15 VPZ

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance profile, though the most recent MOT result indicates a slight decline in routine upkeep. While the vehicle passed several consecutive tests without any recorded defects between 2018 and 2024, the October 2025 test at 16,644 miles resulted in an initial failure. The tester flagged a non-functional stop lamp due to a detached rear switch and a front tyre worn close to the legal limit. Although the lamp issue was corrected during the test, the tyre advisory suggests that basic consumable maintenance has slipped. The mileage pattern confirms this is a very low-use vehicle, having covered only 16,644 miles in approximately eleven years. This averages to roughly 1,500 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average. The data shows consistent annual testing, with the mileage increasing steadily from 8,559 miles in June 2018 to 16,644 miles in October 2025. This slow progression suggests the vehicle spends long periods stationary, which can sometimes lead to issues with rubber components or fluid degradation despite the low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A prospective buyer should focus on the condition of the tyres and any other rubber components, such as seals and hoses, which can perish from lack of use. The recent advisory regarding the front tyre tread indicates that the owner may be neglecting minor consumable replacements. Given the low mileage and infrequent movement, a physical inspection should also prioritise checking for seized brake calipers or flat spots on the tyres. Checking the battery health and the condition of the fuel system would also be prudent to ensure the vehicle has been maintained during its periods of inactivity.
