2020 Triumph Scrambler 1.2L Petrol · RO20 UBP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on August 21, 2025, 5,651 miles. While the maintenance trend shows a recent dip in standards evidenced by a failure just two months prior, the subsequent clean pass indicates that the owner addressed the identified defects. The history prior to this failure suggests a stable period of operation, though the sudden appearance of multiple faults points to a reactive rather than preventative maintenance approach. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a six-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 942 miles per year. Between June 2023 and June 2024, the bike covered only 529 miles, suggesting long periods of storage or very infrequent use. This level of low usage generally results in minimal mechanical wear on the engine, drivetrain, and braking components, though it increases risks related to flat-spotting, seal degradation, and fluid-related issues from the vehicle standing for extended durations. A buyer must physically inspect the nearside rear shock absorber to ensure the serious fluid leak flagged in June 2025 has been professionally replaced rather than merely patched. The drive chain was also noted as loose during that same failure, necessitating a check for proper tension and sprocket wear, as low mileage often masks seized chain stretch. Given the infrequent usage, inspection should also check for cracking in rubber components and surface corrosion on brake discs, which frequently occur when a vehicle sits stationary for long intervals.
