2018 Triumph Thruxton 1.2L Petrol · TX18 TON

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 28 October 2022 at 891 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the motorcycle met all statutory safety requirements during the last official inspection, showing no signs of mechanical failure or immediate safety concerns. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old machine, averaging approximately 111 miles per year. Between the 10 June 2021 test at 748 miles and the October 2022 test at 891 miles, the vehicle covered only 143 miles. This minimal usage suggests the bike has been stored for long periods rather than used for daily commuting. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, it introduces specific risks related to static storage. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection for degradation associated with long-term standing. Low-mileage vehicles often suffer from flat-spot tyres, perished rubber seals, and internal corrosion within fluid systems due to lack of movement. Inspect the brake discs for surface pitting and check that the hydraulic brake lines have not cracked or perished due to age. Given the gap since the last MOT in 2022, the current certification status is lapsed, and a fresh inspection is mandatory to verify the structural integrity and functional state of the engine and electronics.
