Our Verdict
A fantastic purchase for those seeking a low-mileage sportbike. This Daytona shows exceptionally low mileage and a consistent history, suggesting it has been well-cared for despite age.
When inspecting a low-mileage bike like this, the primary concern is age rather than wear and tear. Since the bike only did about 12,000 miles between 2019 and 2022, you must verify that fluids, filters, and rubber components have been replaced according to time intervals, not just mileage. Check the clutch cable for fouling, as the 2015 MOT advisory noted this issue, and ensure it has been properly adjusted.
Look for a comprehensive service history that confirms regular oil changes. At 35,000 miles, you should check the state of the chain, sprockets, and fork seals. Inspect the tyres for cracking or flat-spots; low-mileage bikes often have old tyres that are unsafe for riding even if they have tread remaining.
As a 955cc triple-cylinder, fuel economy is not the priority here; you can expect around 45-55 mpg depending on riding style. Insurance groups for these are high due to the engine size and performance, and tax is based on the high displacement.
Maintenance costs are standard for a premium British motorcycle, though parts can be slightly more expensive than Japanese rivals. Budget an annual running cost of £1,200-£1,500 depending on your mileage, accounting for fuel, high insurance, and annual servicing.
Pay close attention to the rear wheel, as the 2022 MOT advisory noted slight play in the rear wheel bearing. This should be checked to ensure it has been replaced, as a worn bearing can affect handling and safety.
Examine the braking system thoroughly. The history shows front and rear pads reaching limits in 2019 and 2009; ensure the current discs are not deeply scored and that the calipers aren't sticking, which is common on bikes that sit for or are older models.
This 2006 Triumph Daytona is a low-use example, having covered just 35,213 miles over its 20-year life. The MOT history is remarkably clean, with only one failure related to a non-conforming registration plate. Given the 955cc engine, it remains a high-performance machine that has clearly been enjoyed less than the average vehicle of its era.
The Triumph 955cc triple is known for its character and robust engine, though it requires timely attention to the cooling system and prevent drive.
