2012 Triumph Daytona 675 R 0.7L Petrol · KY12 JWO

The 2012 Triumph Daytona 675 R passed its most recent MOT on 22 February 2023 at 16,649 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend over the available history is stable. Across ten tests spanning February 2015 to February 2023, the motorcycle cleared every inspection without advisories or failures. This consistency suggests careful, regular upkeep by previous owners. The mileage pattern reflects very light, intermittent use. Averaging roughly 1,189 miles per year over 14 years, the bike accumulated just 8,456 miles in its first three years, then only 1,292 miles between February 2015 and February 2023. Long gaps between annual tests, particularly the 14-month stretch from May 2019 to February 2021, indicate periods of minimal activity. Such low usage raises the likelihood of components seizing, fluids degrading, or rubber seals drying out, even though the recorded mileage remains low. Given the sparse usage history, a buyer should prioritise inspecting the brake system, including caliper slide pins and seals, which may have bound or corroded during extended stands. Suspension components such as fork seals, rear shock linkage, and swingarm bearings should be checked for stiffness or leakage. The chain and sprockets, if original or infrequently serviced, may show accelerated wear or insufficient lubrication. Tyres, despite low mileage, should be inspected for sidewall cracking or flat-spotting from prolonged standing. Finally, the exhaust system and engine casings should be examined for surface corrosion, particularly around mounting points and joints, where moisture ingress is common on underused machines.
