Moderate sample. 332 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

The 2020 Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro is a genuinely reliable machine, with a 89.8% first-time MOT pass rate that sits comfortably above the UK average of 80%—and only 5.7% of examples have ever recorded a dangerous defect, which is reassuringly low. This bike is built to last: owners are averaging just 0.19 failures per vehicle and 0.9 advisories, suggesting the engineering holds up well to real-world use.

At a median mileage of 9,943 miles for a four-year-old bike, these machines are being ridden properly rather than collecting dust, yet still passing MOTs at a strong rate. If you're considering one, check the service history and have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the suspension and braking components (the most common advisory items on adventure bikes), but overall this is a model you can buy with genuine confidence.

The 2020 Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (94.9% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.

⚠️ Around 1 in 20 of these vehicles have had a dangerous MOT failure at some point — usually tyres or brakes, and often a one-off issue rather than a persistent problem. The group stats won't tell you which one you're looking at.

For context
Good baseline reliability. A 94.9% first-time pass rate puts this well above the UK average — it's a well-sorted vehicle in this age bracket.
🔍 The dangerous defect figure is real. Most are one-off tyre failures or brake issues — not structural problems. But it's exactly why checking the individual vehicle's history is essential, not optional.

These stats describe 332 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
