2021 Triumph Tiger 900 GT PRO 0.9L Petrol · SV71 ONT

A pattern of relatively clean roadworthiness is interrupted by a recent advisory regarding brake wear, following a single failure for headlamp aim in 2024. The vehicle passed its most recent inspection on 07 September 2026, but the record now shows the rear brake pads are approaching their minimum limit. While the 2024 and 2025 tests showed no defects, the emergence of this advisory suggests that consumable components are beginning to reach the end of their service life. The recorded mileage of 21,875 miles over approximately five years indicates a low annual usage rate of roughly 4,375 miles. This level of mileage is lower than average for a vehicle of this age, which typically implies less cumulative wear on high-friction components such as the drivetrain, brake discs, and tyres. However, such low annual accumulation can also mean the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary, which can occasionally lead to uneven wear or the hardening of rubber components like seals and bushes, though no specific defects related to long-term storage have been flagged in the MOT history. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the braking system due to the specific advisory regarding the rear brake pads. During a test ride, it is essential to monitor the rear brake lever for any excessive travel or a spongy feel, which could indicate pad depletion or air in the system. Additionally, check for any rhythmic pulsing or judder through the brake lever when applying pressure, as this can signal uneven wear on the brake discs that often accompanies worn pads. Beyond the braking system, the previous failure regarding headlamp aim warrants a check of the lighting assembly. Ensure the headlight beam is correctly levelled and does not wander or flicker when the front suspension is compressed or when the handlebars are turned. While the headlamp aim was rectified in 2024, verifying the stability of the light pattern will confirm that the mounting brackets and adjustment mechanisms remain secure and functional.
