2015 Triumph Bonneville 0.9L Petrol · RF15 AAN

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in September 2024 at 7,792 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This trend of perfect results over the last five years suggests a stable mechanical condition and indicates that the motorcycle has not suffered from the typical degradations often seen in older machinery. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old machine, averaging approximately 700 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap between September 2020 at 5,411 miles and August 2021 at 5,536 miles, during which only 125 miles were covered in a year. Since the 2022 test, the vehicle has covered only 518 miles across three annual testing cycles. This low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain components and braking surfaces, though it also raises concerns related to prolonged storage rather than active use. Despite the clean digital record, a buyer must focus the physical inspection on components associated with low-mileage stationary vehicles. Check the tyres for flat spotting or cracking in the sidewalls, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. Examine the brake fluid for moisture ingress and inspect the fork seals for weeping, which can occur when the bike sits for long periods. Additionally, verify the chain for surface rust and ensure the fuel system has not suffered from varnish buildup due to the low number of miles completed.
