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.

We have limited data for the 2009 Triumph Daytona 675 — treat the figures below as indicative rather than definitive.

⚠️ Around 1 in 20 of these vehicles have had a dangerous MOT failure at some point — usually tyres or brakes, and often a one-off issue rather than a persistent problem. The group stats won't tell you which one you're looking at.
