2014 Triumph Daytona 0.7L Petrol · KY64 VMV

The Triumph Daytona’s most recent MOT, conducted just ten months ago on 2025-07-17, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. Over the past five annual tests—all passing without fail—the record shows a consistent pattern of compliance, though the single failure in July 2022 stands out as an anomaly. That test, just one mile shy of the previous pass, suggests either a minor oversight in scheduling or a temporary issue resolved before the next inspection. No advisories or recurring faults appear, indicating the tester did not identify any latent concerns in brakes, suspension, or emissions during these checks. The recorded mileage of 12,746 miles at the latest test reflects unusually low annual usage, averaging just 1,062 miles per year. This pattern is evident in the gaps between tests: the vehicle sat idle for nearly three years between the 2022 failure and the 2025 pass, accumulating only 981 miles in that period. Such low mileage may imply limited regular driving, which could either preserve mechanical components or allow corrosion and fluid degradation to progress unchecked. The sudden jump from 8,763 to 11,244 miles between 2022 and 2023—2,481 miles in under a year—does not indicate excessive wear but warrants scrutiny of how the vehicle was stored during its prolonged inactivity. Given the lack of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of components typically affected by prolonged low-mileage storage. The suspension bushes and coil springs, though not flagged in MOTs, may exhibit dryness or cracking after years of disuse, particularly if the vehicle was left in damp conditions. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion or binding, as standing fluids can accelerate rust formation. The exhaust system and underbody should be examined for signs of corrosion, especially around welds and joints, given the motorcycle’s exposure to the elements during its inactive periods. Tyre tread and lateral wear, while not MOT-failed here, should be verified for uneven patterns that might suggest past neglect or improper storage.
