This 2012 Triumph has 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 15,934 miles. The mileage trajectory is highly anomalous, suggesting potential odometer issues or long periods of inactivity.
The vehicle shows extremely low mileage of 15,934 miles over 14 years, with suspiciously low annual usage (e.g., 168 miles/year equivalent to May 2024) and a significant drop in recorded mileage between 2018 and 2024.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS tyre defect recorded on 2022-05-01 (test 5.2.3(e)) — immediate safety concern.
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 15,934 miles in 14 years (May 2024: 168 mi/yr equivalent).
- Mileage dropped from 31,028 miles (Nov 2018) to 32,810 miles (Oct 2019), then to 34,122 miles (Apr 2021), indicating a 3-year gap with no recorded mileage.
- Two MOT failures (Apr 2021, May 2022) for tyres and lights, with a 3-year gap in recorded mileage between 2018 and 2021.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-06-10, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recurring major system failures (e.g., brakes, suspension) over its history.
- Immediate retest passes after failures (e.g., Apr 2021, May 2022) show owner responsiveness.
- No evidence of Cat N/S write-off or outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
