2020 Yamaha Tracer 700 (mtt 690-A) 0.7L Petrol · GL70 HFR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a passing result on June 3, 2026, at 133,402 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care regarding critical components. While the most recent test only flagged a deteriorated registration plate and a distorted front bead rim, previous records reveal significant mechanical neglect that required immediate attention. The overall state suggests that while the bike is kept legal, components are often only addressed once they reach a failure point. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a six-year-old motorcycle, averaging over 22,000 miles per year. Between December 2023 and November 2024, the bike covered more than 32,000 miles in less than eleven months. This rapid accumulation indicates intensive long-distance commuting or commercial use, which accelerates the wear rate on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. The gap of 11,000 miles between the November 2024 and June 2026 tests confirms this high usage remains consistent across all intervals. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and steering assembly. The 2024 test noted a stiff steering head bearing and a reduced damping effect in the rear shock, while the 2023 failure highlighted a serious front shock absorber fluid leak. You should check for new oil leaks on the forks and test for notched movement in the steering. Additionally, the distorted front wheel bead rim noted in two consecutive tests suggests a history of impact or severe stress that could lead to tyre leaks or wheel failure at high speeds. The braking system and drivetrain also require close scrutiny. Records show all brake discs were worn by late 2023, followed by fluctuating brake effort reported in 2024, likely indicating thin rotors or sticking calipers. Given the previous failure for an excessively tight drive chain and excessive rear wheel bearing play, the buyer must inspect the chain, sprockets and bearings for stretch and sharp teeth. The high mileage means that these components are likely nearing the end of their functional life and will require expensive replacement shortly.
