2009 Triumph Rocket 111 Touring 2.3L Petrol · YX09 DPE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 14 May 2026 at 12,338 miles where no defects were recorded. This represents an improvement in overall mechanical presentation compared to previous years where minor consumable issues were noted. The current trend suggests the motorcycle is being well-maintained or has recently undergone a service to address the minor concerns identified in earlier testing cycles. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old machine, averaging approximately 726 miles per year. Data shows a significant period of minimal use between May 2022 and May 2025, where the vehicle covered only 13 miles over three years. However, the jump of 5,648 miles between between 2025 and 2026 indicates a recent increase in usage. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, seal corrosion, and fluid breakdown. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyres, as the recurring failures for front tyres worn near the legal limit in 2020 and 2021 suggest a history of neglecting basic maintenance until necessary. Given the low mileage and long absences, it is vital to check for sidewall cracking on the tyres and to inspect the brake discs for pitting or corrosion from disuse. Examine the structural integrity for surface rust on the frame and swingarm, as stationary vehicles are often more susceptible to environmental damage than those with regularly used daily.
