2022 Yamaha XSR 700 (MTM690) 0.7L Petrol · CP22 EHX

The 2022 Yamaha XSR 700 has maintained a clean MOT record with no defects or advisories recorded in the sole available test from 17 June 2025 at 2,453 miles . This suggests the vehicle passed all mandatory checks for brakes, suspension, steering, lights, emissions, and structural integrity without incident. The most recent test occurred just over 13 months ago , which is well within the standard 12-month MOT cycle, though slightly late by a month. No repeat failures or advisories indicate a stable maintenance history, though the limited data prevents assessing long-term reliability trends. The recorded mileage of 2,453 miles at the time of the last MOT—combined with the vehicle’s age of approximately four years —implies an exceptionally low annual average of around 613 miles . This suggests either minimal use, storage, or a combination of both. The absence of any mileage gaps or sudden spikes in the single available record further supports consistent light usage, though this could also imply deferred maintenance if the vehicle was not regularly driven. Without prior MOTs or service records, it is impossible to confirm whether this low mileage reflects diligent care or neglect. Given the sparse MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of brake pads and discs , particularly for uneven wear or binding, as these are critical components that may not always trigger MOT failures but can degrade over time. The suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for cracking, perishing, or excessive play, especially if the vehicle has spent periods stationary. Exhaust system integrity must also be verified, as corrosion or leaks—common in low-mileage but older motorcycles—can compromise emissions and structural safety. Finally, tyre condition warrants scrutiny, as the lack of MOT defects does not guarantee tread depth or lateral wear remains within safe limits for the current date. Given the motorcycle’s age, fluid levels (brake, engine oil, coolant) and chain/drivetrain condition should be inspected for signs of neglect, as these are not routinely tested in MOTs.
