2016 Triumph Bonneville 1.2L Petrol · WD16 HDU

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection on 13 November 2024 at 13,213 miles resulted in an initial failure due to a missing central rear reflector, but this was rectified immediately to secure a pass with no further defects recorded. This indicates that the owner is attentive to minor safety-related items and that the mechanical condition remains sound throughout the testing period. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,320 miles per year. Data shows consistent, slow usage, moving from 8,128 miles in October 2022 to 10,116 miles in October 2023, and reaching 13,213 miles by late 2024. While low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine, and suspension components, the long periods between tests can sometimes mask issues related to rubber degradation, fluid breakdown, or brake corrosion that mileage alone does not capture. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on signs of long-term storage rather than mechanical wear. The failure in October 2022 for a non-functional horn and the subsequent 2024 reflector failure suggest minor electrical or external components may suffer when sitting stationary. Inspect the brake discs for pitting or rust and check the tyres for flat spotting or sidewall cracking despite likely high tread depth. Given the low usage, verifying the age of the brake seals and engine oil is essential to ensure the bike has not degraded during the intervals of inactivity.
