2016 Triumph Speed Triple 1.1L Petrol · TG63 XXX

The Triumph Speed Triple’s most recent MOT test on 2025-07-10 confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded, maintaining a consistent pass history across all five tests since 2022. The absence of advisories or recurring failures suggests the vehicle has been kept in a stable condition, though the 2024-07-05 entry—where a failure was logged without defects—appears anomalous and may indicate a temporary administrative error rather than a mechanical issue. The last two tests, both in July 2024 and 2025, align with the standard annual MOT cycle, reinforcing that the vehicle has not been driven excessively since its last inspection. The recorded mileage of 10,427 miles over approximately ten years—roughly 1,043 miles annually—is unusually low for a motorcycle of this age, particularly given its sport-touring nature. This suggests prolonged periods of inactivity or storage, which could accelerate wear on components like seals, cables, and battery health. The gap between tests is consistent, with no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or irregular usage patterns, though the low annual mileage raises questions about whether critical maintenance—such as chain tensioning, throttle body cleaning, or suspension servicing—has been neglected over time. Given the lack of recorded defects, a prospective buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the chain and sprocket for excessive wear or rust, as low mileage does not guarantee these have been serviced. The suspension components—particularly the rear shock absorber and steering head bearings—should be checked for fluid leaks or binding, while the brakes, despite passing tests, warrant scrutiny for uneven pad wear or glazing. Corrosion around the frame’s lower sections and undercarriage is another concern, especially if the motorcycle has spent extended periods exposed to moisture. The battery and electrical connections should also be tested, as prolonged disuse can lead to sulfation or terminal corrosion.
