Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for those seekin
Given the very low mileage for a 20-year-old motorcycle, you should scrutinize the service history for evidence of regular oil changes and fluid flushes, regardless of distance travelled. Low-usage bikes can sometimes suffer from perished rubber seals or fuel system deposits if left stationary for long periods.
Verify that the tyres replaced following the July 2025 MOT failure are of a high-quality brand and check their manufacture date. Negotiate based on the age of other consumables, such as the brake pads and battery, which may need replacing due to age rather than wear.
Running costs for the 790cc engine will be typical for a mid-sized classic petrol motorcycle. Fuel economy is moderate, and annual road tax for a 2005 model is generally affordable. Insurance costs will depend on the rider's profile and the bike's insurance group.
Typical annual maintenance will include an annual service and MOT. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, are likely to be modest given the low annual mileage recorded.
Inspect the tyres to ensure the failures noted in July 2025 (front tyre worn close to legal limit and rear tyre below 1.0mm) have been fully rectified with new rubber. Check the chrome and frame for any signs of corrosion, which can occur on bikes of this age regardless of mileage.
Pay close attention to the battery health and the condition of the fuel lines. Because the bike has averaged fewer than 600 miles per year over its life, check for any signs of 'flat spots' on the tyres or evidence of long-term storage issues.
This 2005 Green Triumph Bonneville T100 has covered just 11,946 miles since its first registration in August 2005. The MOT record shows a consistent history of passes since 2022, with a single failure in July 2025 specifically related to tyre tread depth. It presents as a low-usage example of the 790cc petrol variant.
No aggregate MOT data is available to provide a specific reliability benchmark for the Triumph Bonneville T100.
