2018 Yamaha Tracer 900 GT 0.8L Petrol · CU18 XGZ

The Yamaha Tracer 900 GT presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 17 January 2026 at 12,094 miles where the examiner recorded no defects. Every annual examination from 2022 through 2026 returned a pass with no advisories, showing the machine has not deteriorated mechanically across the recorded period. The odometer shows 12,094 miles against an eight-year lifespan, averaging roughly 1,512 miles per year. The records trace a gentle, consistent climb: 7,589 miles in January 2022, 8,415 in January 2023, 9,863 in January 2024, 11,713 in January 2025, and 12,094 in January 2026. No abrupt mileage jumps or dormant gaps appear. Such low, steady use implies the bike spent long intervals stationary between short rides, a pattern that often masks aged fluids and perished rubber rather than worn drivetrain parts. A clean MOT sheet with zero advisories across five years tells the buyer the previous keeper maintained statutory test standards but offers no insight into consumables the tester need not flag. The low standing mileage raises the odds of hardened suspension bushes, degraded coolant, and cracked tyre sidewalls from age rather than abrasion. A buyer should physically check fork seals for weepage, brake caliper slide pins for seizure after disuse, and the steel exhaust for internal corrosion. Inspect the chain and sprockets for tight links from infrequent lubrication, and confirm the battery holds charge after prolonged layoffs. No structural or mechanical fault is recorded, yet the absence of advisories on a lightly used 2018 machine means a pre-purchase hands-on check remains essential.
