2012 Yamaha XT 660 Z Tenere 0.7L Petrol · FM12 HUP

The Yamaha XT 660 Z Tenere presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 29 March 2025 at 22,994 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken four-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. The maintenance trend shows no worsening or recurring faults across the available history. Recorded mileage stands at 22,994 miles against a 2012 manufacture date, equating to roughly 1,642 miles per year. The bike gained only 2,215 miles between the April 2024 test at 20,779 miles and the March 2025 test, and just 7,907 miles across the full 2022 to 2025 span. Such low annual use suggests extended standing periods, though the DVSA record itself contains no test gaps and no advisories to flag deferred care. A buyer should still verify in person the items a clean MOT does not expose. Long idle periods on a 14-year-old machine risk perished suspension bushes, seized calipers, and internal corrosion on brake discs or the exhaust system that a road test alone may not reveal. The steel frame and mounting points warrant a close check for structural rust given the age. No recurring mechanical or structural faults appear in the history, so serious risk is low on paper. Inspect tyre sidewalls for cracking from age rather than wear, and confirm the chain, sprockets, and fork seals remain sound before purchase.
