2017 Triumph Bonneville 1.2L Petrol · WF17 KYP

This Triumph Bonneville presents an exemplary MOT record. The most recent test, conducted on 29 September 2025 at 10,139 miles, passed with zero defects. This clean sheet extends a perfect, unbroken five-year streak of first-time passes with no advisories or failures. The maintenance trend is not merely stable; it is flawless, indicating a machine that has been meticulously maintained and presents no known mechanical or structural faults. The vehicle's roadworthiness status is outstanding based on the official DVSA record. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low and consistent, reinforcing the picture of careful, infrequent use. The recorded mileage increased by only 311 miles between the August 2024 test (9,828 miles) and the September 2025 test (10,139 miles). Over the full five-year history, the annual mileage has averaged approximately 1,127 miles, with no sudden jumps or suspicious gaps. This low-mileage profile suggests the motorcycle has been used sparingly, likely for short, dry-weather rides, and has not been subjected to the wear and tear of daily commuting or high-mileage touring. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection remains essential. A buyer should pay close attention to components that degrade with age and inactivity rather than mileage. Inspect all rubber components, including tyre sidewalls, suspension bushes, and brake hoses, for perishing or cracking due to the vehicle's nine-year age. Check the condition of the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion from potential standing periods, and verify the operation of the braking system to ensure no calipers are binding. Examine the exhaust system and chassis for any signs of corrosion, particularly if the motorcycle has been stored in a damp environment. The complete absence of any flagged defects in the MOT record strongly suggests a conscientious previous owner and a well-cared-for machine. The primary risk with such a low-mileage, older motorcycle is not high-mileage wear but the potential for deterioration from lack of use. A thorough test ride and pre-purchase inspection, focusing on the items noted above, will confirm whether the physical condition matches its impeccable paperwork.
