2014 Triumph Daytona 0.7L Petrol · AV14 PXC

The Triumph Daytona’s most recent MOT, conducted on 15 September 2025 at just 9,207 miles , confirms a clean pass with no defects recorded. This represents a stable maintenance trend over the past three annual tests, with no recurring mechanical failures beyond the isolated rear footrest omission in September 2023—a minor non-structural issue that does not imply broader neglect. The absence of advisories or repeated faults suggests the vehicle has been kept in a state of basic roadworthiness, though the low mileage raises questions about its actual usage history. The recorded mileage of 9,207 miles over approximately 12 years equates to an average of 767 miles per year , a figure significantly lower than typical annual usage for a motorcycle of this age. The most notable gap occurs between September 2023 (7,625 miles) and September 2024 (7,915 miles) , a 290-mile increase over 12 months , followed by a 292-mile jump in the subsequent year. This pattern suggests prolonged periods of inactivity rather than consistent riding, which could accelerate wear on rubber components like seals, tyres, and suspension bushes if the bike was stored without proper care. The lack of intermediate MOTs or service records further obscures the vehicle’s true condition. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on consumable wear and storage-related deterioration . The low mileage makes tyre tread depth a critical check—even if the MOT passed, uneven wear or cracking could indicate prolonged static loading. Suspension bushes and coil springs, though not explicitly flagged, may exhibit stiffness or corrosion after years of minimal use, particularly if the bike was stored outdoors. The rear footrest failure in 2023 hints at potential neglect of smaller components, so examine fasteners, wiring loom integrity, and electrical connections for signs of rust or loosening. Finally, inspect the frame and fuel tank for corrosion, as standing water or condensation can accelerate structural degradation in a motorcycle of this age.
