2017 Triumph Tiger 1.2L Petrol · WA67 WFD

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status but the maintenance trend shows a concerning shift toward reactive repairs. While it passed the most recent test in January 2026 at 33,292 miles, the history reveals recurring mechanical issues following a significant failure in October 2024. The persistence of pitted front brake discs and corroded rear road springs across multiple consecutive tests indicates that certain components are only being addressed once they reach a failure threshold rather than on a preventative schedule. At 33,292 miles over nine years, this Triumph Tiger has covered an average of approximately 3,700 miles per year. This low usage profile explains the surface corrosion noted on the springs and discs, as vehicles that sit stationary frequently are more prone to oxidation. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests shows period of clean operation, but the narrow window between the October 2024 failure and the subsequent pass just two days later suggests a rushed repair job to rectify critical faults like the wheel bearing, brake pads, and a non-functional indicator. A buyer must physically inspect the front braking assembly and rear suspension geometry. The 2024 failure flagged a front wheel bearing with excessive play, a component that should be checked for any remaining movement to ensure the replacement was thorough. The recurring advisory on pitted and scored front discs suggests the rotors are nearing the end of their functional life and may soon affect braking performance. Furthermore, the corrosion on the rear road springs requires a close look to ensure the surface rust has not progressed into structural cracking that could lead to a spring failure under load.
