2021 Triumph Tiger 900 GT Lrh
CarHunch analysed 140 real MOT records for the 2021 Triumph Tiger 900 GT Lrh. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2021 Triumph Tiger 900 GT LRH is exceptionally reliable, with a 94.8% first-time MOT pass rate that sits well above the UK average of 80%—and dangerous defects are rare, affecting just 3.6% of vehicles. This adventure bike is built tough, with fewer than one failure per 17 vehicles checked and minimal advisory items averaging just 0.5 per machine.
At a median mileage of 7,916 miles for vehicles of this age, these bikes are being ridden conservatively, which partly explains the stellar pass rates, but the low failure count suggests genuine durability rather than gentle use alone. If you're considering one, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on service history and chain/sprocket wear rather than structural or mechanical flaws—that's where real problems emerge on adventure bikes at this mileage.
What to check before buying a 2021 Triumph Tiger 900 GT Lrh
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.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
