2020 Yamaha Tenere 700 0.7L Petrol · CV70 WTC

The Yamaha Teneré 700 presents a stable and highly favorable maintenance trend, demonstrating consistent roadworthiness across its recorded history. During the most recent MOT on 21 May 2025 at 2,442 miles, the tester recorded zero defects, mirroring the clean pass achieved on 8 May 2024. This unblemished record indicates the motorcycle has suffered no significant mechanical failures or structural deteriorations requiring immediate remedial action. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally low usage, accumulating just 2,442 miles over approximately six years, equating to roughly 407 miles annually. The recorded data shows a static mileage between the 2024 and 2025 tests, suggesting the motorcycle either covered negligible miles during that twelve-month period or remained entirely stationary. Such minimal accumulation points to light recreational use rather than daily commuting, though prolonged periods of inactivity demand scrutiny of perishable components like rubber seals and tyres. Despite the clean MOT record, the lack of recent mileage accumulation warrants a thorough physical inspection of components susceptible to degradation from standing. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the fork seals and suspension bushes for dry cracking or weeping, alongside checking the brake discs for surface corrosion that can develop when pads sit stationary. Inspecting the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking is equally critical, as rubber perishes over time regardless of tread depth. Verifying the charging system and battery health will also confirm the electrical system has not suffered from prolonged disuse.
