Triumph Daytona (2010)
2010 Triumph Daytona
CarHunch analysed 323 real MOT records for the 2010 Triumph Daytona. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2010 Triumph Daytona passes its MOT significantly more often than the UK average, with an 89.7% first-time pass rate versus 80%, suggesting these bikes are generally well-maintained and mechanically sound. Only 12.4% have ever recorded a dangerous defect, which is reassuringly low and puts this model well below the worry threshold for safety-critical failures.
These Daytonas are running at notably low mileage for their age—averaging just 11,524 miles—which explains both the strong pass rate and the relatively modest 1.02 failures per vehicle on test. The 3.7 advisories per bike suggest routine wear items (chain, tyres, fluids) are the main concern rather than structural problems, so if you're buying one, prioritise a full service history and a pre-purchase inspection of consumables rather than fearing major overhaul costs.
What to check before buying a 2010 Triumph Daytona
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.
