2017 Yamaha MT-09 Tracer ABS 0.8L Petrol · FG67 NUK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in consumable upkeep. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 9,069 miles passed, the tester flagged an advisory for a front tyre worn close to the legal limit. This mirrors an identical finding from the June 2024 test at 8,027 miles, indicating a recurring pattern of neglecting front tyre replacement despite the low overall annual mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-use between 2020 and 2022, where the bike covered only 2,353 miles over two years. However, there was a notable jump of 2,149 miles between the May 2022 and June 2024 tests. This usage pattern suggests the bike may spend long periods stationary, which can often lead to rubber degradation or fluid-related issues that are not reflected in simple mileage figures. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the front tyre to check for flat spotting or sidewall cracking caused by prolonged storage. Given the low mileage, the buyer must also examine the drive chain for rust and seized calipers, as these components suffer more from age than from high mileage. The absence of structural corrosion or brakerelated defects in the history suggests a sound frame, but the recurring tyre advisories indicate that the previous owner was reactive rather than proactive with basic maintenance.
