2016 Triumph Bonneville 1.2L Petrol · YT66 EUO

The 2016 Triumph Bonneville presents a stable and largely clean roadworthiness record through five consecutive MOT passes. The most recent test on 21 October 2025 at 16,607 miles recorded a single advisory for slight fluctuation of brake effort at the central front lower brake, indicating minor unevenness in braking force rather than a dangerous failure. The trend is broadly improving, as the previous three consecutive tests from October 2023 through October 2024 passed with zero defects, suggesting recent attention to the vehicle's mechanical condition. The mileage pattern tells a clear story of very light use. Over roughly ten years the motorcycle has covered approximately 16,607 miles, averaging just 1,661 miles annually. The annual increments are consistent and modest, with each yearly MOT recording between roughly 1,000 and 1,200 additional miles. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation that would suggest the odometer has been tampered with or that the bike sat unused for extended periods. The steady, low-mileage progression supports a picture of gentle, regular use rather than neglect through prolonged standing. The two advisories across the entire history both relate to consumable wear items rather than structural or mechanical defects. The October 2022 test flagged a front tyre worn close to the 1.6mm legal limit along with cracking in the tread at 14,018 miles, and the October 2025 test noted the front brake fluctuation. Neither points to corrosion, suspension deterioration, or engine concerns. A prospective buyer should still inspect the tyre condition carefully, particularly for age-related cracking given the low mileage, and verify that the front brake caliper is not binding or suffering from uneven pad wear. The front brake discs and pads merit a close visual check for scoring or lipping, and the rear brake system should be tested for balanced operation. Beyond these items, the MOT record gives no reason to suspect structural rust, suspension bush wear, or drivetrain faults on this low-mileage example.
