2002 Triumph Tiger 1.0L Petrol · YX02 EBL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear upward trend in consistent maintenance. Following a minor failure in June 2022, the motorcycle has passed three consecutive annual inspections without a single defect or advisory recorded. The most recent test on 31 July 2025 at 62,593 miles confirms that the mechanical and electrical systems currently meet the MOT standard, indicating a high level of upkeep by the current owner. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old machine, averaging approximately 2,600 miles per year. Between July 2022 and July 2025, the bike covered 3,932 miles, suggesting a history of infrequent use or long storage periods. While this low mileage reduces the wear on the drivetrain, engine internals, and brakes, it often increases the risk of dry rot in rubber-based components such as seals, hoses, and suspension bushes which can perish regardless of distance traveled. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related degradation that the MOT testing process does not fully capture. The June 2022 failure regarding a non-functional horn and a persistent stop lamp indicates past electrical issues, so a thorough check of the wiring loom and switchgear is necessary to ensure no further faults emerge. Given the low usage, inspect the fork seals for weeping, check the tyres for sidew cracking, and examine the frame for structural corrosion that often accumulates on vehicles left stationary for long durations.
