2007 Triumph Daytona 0.7L Petrol · MB06 DAY

The latest MOT test conducted on 23 August 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern established in the 2024 and 2022 tests, which were also clean passes. From a regulatory perspective, the maintenance trend is exceptionally stable, suggesting a vehicle that has been kept in a condition that comfortably exceeds the minimum legal roadworthiness standards without the typical wear-and-tear failures associated with its age. The recorded mileage of 12,891 miles over approximately 19 years is remarkably low, averaging only 678 miles per year. While this indicates minimal mechanical wear on the engine internals, gearbox, and final drive, such low usage often suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods in stationary storage. For a high-performance motorcycle, long intervals of inactivity can lead to specific degradation issues that are not always captured during a standard MOT test, shifting the risk from wear-based failure to age-based deterioration. Given the clean MOT history and low usage, the buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of all rubber components. Tyres must be checked for sidewall cracking and perishing, as rubber hardens and loses grip over time regardless of the remaining tread depth. Particular attention should be paid to the brake system; check for binding calipers or sticking pistons caused by inactivity, and inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting. The health of the 12V battery should be verified, as frequent discharge during long storage periods often leads to premature cell failure. Furthermore, the buyer must verify that maintenance has been carried out on a calendar basis rather than a mileage basis. Engine oil and brake fluid degrade through oxidation and moisture absorption over time, meaning they require regular replacement even if the bike has not been ridden. Review the service book for annual stamps to ensure the lubrication and cooling systems have been refreshed. Finally, inspect the chassis, swingarm, and fasteners for any signs of standing corrosion or oxidation that may have occurred during periods of storage in damp environments.
