2017 Yamaha MT-09 Tracer ABS 0.8L Petrol · GD66 OFA

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance profile, though the most recent MOT test in May 2025 at 17,462 miles indicates the emergence of minor wear-related advisories. While the bike passed the inspection, the tester flagged a slightly loose nearside rear drive chain and wear on the central rear lower suspension arm pin or bush. These issues suggest that components are beginning to reach the end of their optimal service life, marking a shift from the clean records seen in previous years. The recorded mileage of 17,462 miles over a nine-year period reflects a very low annual average of approximately 1,940 miles. This low usage pattern is evident in the consistent, incremental mileage increases between tests, such as the 1,367-mile gap between the February 2024 and May 2025 inspections. While low mileage typically implies less mechanical fatigue, it can also lead to seals drying out or fluids degrading due to infrequent use. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear suspension assembly to check for excessive play in the lower arm bushes. The loose drive chain noted in the May 2025 test requires immediate attention to ensure proper power delivery and prevent premature sprocket wear. Additionally, the February 2024 advisory regarding slight fluctuations in front brake effort suggests the buyer should inspect the front brake discs for unevenness or scoring, which can cause lever pulsation.
