Triumph Daytona 675 (2009)
2009 Triumph Daytona 675
CarHunch analysed 294 real MOT records for the 2009 Triumph Daytona 675. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2009 Triumph Daytona 675 is a reliability concern: just 44.4% pass their MOT first time, nearly half the UK average of 80%, and these bikes are racking up an average of 0.53 failures per vehicle when tested. The good news is that dangerous defects are rare at 6.1%, so you're not looking at safety-critical issues, but chronic wear and minor faults are clearly the pattern here.
These Daytonas are running relatively low mileage for their age—a median of 10,597 miles suggests many have been garage queens or ridden sparingly—yet still struggle with MOT compliance, pointing to neglect or parts deterioration rather than hard use. Before buying, budget for a pre-purchase inspection by someone who knows sports bikes well, and plan on addressing at least one advisory issue (averaging 1.5 per bike) within your first year of ownership.
What to check before buying a 2009 Triumph Daytona 675
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
