2022 Yamaha Tenere 700 (XTZ690) 0.7L Petrol · BT71 AEB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 12 April 2025 at 5,371 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates the motorcycle met all DVSA safety and environmental standards at the time of testing. The mileage is exceptionally low for a four year old machine, averaging roughly 1,343 miles per year. The odometer reading of 5,371 miles remained static between the 2025 test and the current date of 13 July 2026, suggesting the bike has been stationary for over a year. This pattern of prolonged inactivity is more concerning than high mileage, as it can lead to fuel degradation and battery failure. A physical inspection should focus on the effects of long term standing. Check for perished tyres or flat spots and verify that the brake calipers have not seized. The buyer should examine the fuel system for varnish and ensure the battery holds a charge. While the MOT record is clean, the lack of use means the mechanical components have not been cycled regularly. Inspect the chain and sprockets for surface corrosion and ensure the suspension forks are not leaking oil due to seal drying. Because the MOT history is sparse and lacks any recorded faults, there are no recurring mechanical trends to flag, but the stationary period makes a thorough fluid and rubber check essential.
