Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Triumph Bonneville T100?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2022 Triumph Bonneville T100?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2022 Triumph Bonneville T100?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

Is the 2022 Triumph Bonneville T100 reliable?

Based on MOT data from 172 vehicles, the 2022 Triumph Bonneville T100 has a first-time MOT pass rate of 96.9%, indicating generally reliable for its class. Always check the full MOT history of any specific vehicle before buying.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2022 Triumph Bonneville T100?

Yes. The MOT history will not show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status. An HPI check covers these areas and should be part of any used car purchase.

The 2022 Triumph Bonneville T100 passes its MOT at 82.3%, which is slightly above the UK average of 80%, and dangerous defects are virtually non-existent at just 0.6% of vehicles—a reassuring baseline for reliability. With an average of only 0.05 failures and 0.2 advisories per vehicle, this bike shows genuinely low wear patterns.

The median mileage of 3,490 miles is notably low for a two-year-old machine, suggesting these are cherished hobby bikes rather than daily commuters, which explains the minimal maintenance burden. If you're buying used, prioritize a pre-purchase inspection of the clutch and brakes (the most common advisory items on retro bikes), but overall you're looking at a well-kept platform with minimal inherited problems.
