Common problems with the 2008 Tiger 1050 CCM ABS
NHTSA's file holds 16 owner complaints on the 2008 Triumph Tiger 1050 CCM ABS. Owners named engine cooling most often: 9 complaints, and half of the 9 that list a mileage came after 3,500 miles. A complaint can name more than one component.
| Component (NHTSA category) | Complaints | Listing mileage | Median mileage |

Mileage when owners reported a problem with the 2008 Tiger 1050 CCM ABS
The 16 mileages owners gave run from 30 to 11,590 miles, and half are at or under 3,592. With fewer than 20 mileages this page gives the median only: the other percentiles are too few to say. None came after 100,000 miles, none after 150,000 and none after 200,000.
These mileages say when owners reported a problem, not when a 2008 Tiger 1050 CCM ABS wears out. NHTSA's file holds only vehicles whose owners complained; one that ran without a problem never appears in it, so it gives no lifespan and no cutoff, and how a vehicle was maintained matters more than any one odometer reading.
Most of these reports came early in the vehicle's life: all 16 came at or under 100,000 miles, so they say nothing about how many miles a 2008 Tiger 1050 CCM ABS can cover.
| Measure | Value |
|---|---|
| Lowest mileage listed | 30 miles |
| 25th percentile | Too few to say |
| Median (50th percentile) | 3,592 miles |
| 75th percentile | Too few to say |
| 90th percentile | Too few to say |
| Highest mileage listed | 11,590 miles |
| Complaints after 100,000 miles | none |
| Complaints after 150,000 miles | none |
| Complaints after 200,000 miles | none |
Is the 2008 Tiger 1050 CCM ABS a good year?
Complaint counts cannot say whether the 2008 is a good or a bad Tiger 1050 CCM ABS: they rise with how many were sold and how long they have been on the road. They show how the 2008 compares with the other model years in NHTSA's file.
The 2008 is the only Triumph Tiger 1050 CCM ABS model year with 10 or more complaints in NHTSA's file, so there is no other year to compare it with.
Recent model years have had less time to collect complaints, so their counts are still growing. No year is ranked by mileage here, because a year's median mileage mostly follows its age.
2008 Triumph Tiger 1050 CCM ABS recalls
NHTSA's recall files of November 11, 2026 list no campaign for the 2008 model year under the name TIGER 1050 CCM ABS. Recalls can be filed under another name (a trim, a body or a series name), so a recall may still exist for the 2008 Triumph Tiger 1050 CCM ABS: check the VIN with NHTSA's free recall lookup.
What these figures can and cannot tell you
- Complaints are owners’ reports to NHTSA. NHTSA publishes them without verifying them: a complaint is an allegation, not a defect finding.
- The mileage is what the owner wrote on the complaint; NHTSA does not check it against the odometer.
- The make, model and model year are the ones on the complaint. NHTSA records them as filed, so a few complaints sit under a model year the name was not sold in.
- They are not a lifespan study. The file holds only vehicles whose owners reported a problem, so these figures do not say how long a typical 2008 Tiger 1050 CCM ABS lasts.
- A complaint count rises with how many vehicles were sold and how long they have been on the road, so it is not a rating of the 2008 Tiger 1050 CCM ABS.
- Nothing here describes one vehicle: its title brands, odometer readings, accidents and open recalls are in the records for its own VIN.
- Every one of the 16 complaints on the 2008 Triumph Tiger 1050 CCM ABS lists a usable mileage.
- NHTSA name counted: TIGER 1050 CCM ABS. NHTSA files some vehicles under several names (a series name and a trim name, for example); this page counts only this one.
