If you own or are considering buying a 2006 Tgb 304, you can expect reliable MOT performance overall. Before your MOT, pay particular attention to motorcycle steering and suspension: Look for uneven tyre wear, listen for clunking over bumps, and check if the car pulls to one side. A bouncy ride suggests worn shock absorbers. Visually inspect coil springs for cracks. With relatively low average mileage of 12,886 miles, many of these vehicles are still in good mechanical condition.
Motorcycle steering and suspension — 3.2% of failures
