2022 Yamaha Tracer 9 GT (mtt 890D) 0.9L Petrol · CV72 AVY

The vehicle’s most recent official MOT on 2026‑08‑05 at 884 miles records a failure under item 4.3.2(a)(iii) – the stop lamp does not illuminate when both brake controls are operated. Although a passed entry appears on the same day, the DVSA record lists the failure as the definitive outcome, meaning the motorcycle is not currently roadworthy. The maintenance trend is deteriorating: the 2025‑08‑06 test at 541 miles showed no defects, yet a new fault has emerged within a year, indicating a regression rather than improvement. Mileage accumulation over the vehicle’s four‑year life totals only 884 miles, a rate of roughly 221 miles per year. Between the 2025‑08‑06 test (541 miles) and the 2026‑08‑05 test (884 miles) the odometer rose by 343 miles in a single year, a low increase that suggests limited use. The MOT history is sparse, with only two test entries, but the data is clean apart from the stop‑lamp issue, reinforcing the picture of a lightly ridden machine. A buyer should inspect the stop‑lamp circuit and brake‑switch operation first, confirming that both brake levers activate the rear lamp. Low‑mileage machines can suffer from battery discharge, stale fuel, and degraded lubricants, so checking the battery charge, fuel system, and fluid levels is advisable. Tyre tread depth and pressure should be verified, as prolonged static storage can lead to flat spots. A visual inspection of suspension bushes, brake discs, and caliper movement will reveal any corrosion or seizing that may have developed despite low mileage. Finally, examine the exhaust and chassis for rust or corrosion, ensuring structural integrity before purchase.
