2003 Triumph Daytona 1.0L Petrol · VX03 ATU

This vehicle is in a stable roadworthy condition with a clean recent maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 22 January 2026 at 25,075 miles passed without any defects or advisories. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes throughout 2025 and 2023, suggesting the motorcycle is currently well-maintained and mechanically sound. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 23 year old machine, averaging roughly 1,090 miles per year. A significant period of stagnation occurred between May 2018 and August 2020, where the odometer only moved 362 miles. More recent usage has increased, with the mileage rising from 19,366 in April 2023 to 25,075 in January 2026. This shift from long-term storage to more regular use is a positive indicator for the health of the seals and engine internals. Historical data reveals a few areas for caution. In August 2011 at 10,630 miles, the tester flagged pitted brake discs, corroded oil cooler pipes, and a misaligned wheel. While these are old entries, they point to a period of neglect or exposure to moisture. A failure in April 2017 due to a missing reflector and worn tyres suggests a lapse in basic upkeep during that period. The April 2023 test noted a loose rear drive chain sprocket and worn hub rubbers, though these were resolved by the subsequent December 2023 test. A buyer should specifically inspect the oil cooler pipes for any signs of renewed corrosion and check the condition of the brake discs for pitting. Given the low mileage and history of standing, the tyres and brake fluid should be checked for age-related degradation regardless of tread depth. The drive chain and sprocket hub rubbers require a physical check to ensure the 2023 issues were permanently rectified rather than temporarily adjusted.
