Triumph Sprint (2013)
2013 Triumph Sprint
CarHunch analysed 344 real MOT records for the 2013 Triumph Sprint. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2013 Triumph Sprint passes its MOT significantly more often than the UK average, hitting 91% on the first attempt compared to 80% nationwide—a real strength. However, nearly a quarter of these bikes have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, which is a meaningful buyer concern worth investigating on any used example.
At just over 14,500 miles median, these Sprints have been used sparingly for their age, suggesting they've been well-looked-after by owners who treat them as weekend machines rather than daily commuters. The average of 0.88 failures and 4.4 advisories per test shows minor wear items are routine, but serious problems are rare; when buying one, ask the seller for full MOT history and pay particular attention to safety-critical areas flagged as dangerous defects.
What to check before buying a 2013 Triumph Sprint
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
