2017 Yamaha MT-07 ABS 0.7L Petrol · HK17 CGE

The maintenance trend for this 2017 Yamaha MT-07 ABS is entirely stable, presenting a clean bill of health across its documented history. The most recent MOT on 9 May 2025 at 10,147 miles passed with zero defects or advisories, though it has now expired as of 9 May 2026. A minor anomaly appears in the 2023 record where a failure is logged on 16 May at 6,393 miles, yet it lists no defects recorded, followed immediately by a pass on the same day at the same mileage. This suggests a clerical error or an instantly rectified minor issue, with no recurring mechanical faults evident in the data. The recorded mileage of 10,147 miles over nine years equates to roughly 1,127 miles annually, classifying this as a very low-mileage machine. The progression reveals a distinct shift in usage. Between May 2022 and May 2024, the bike accumulated just 1,318 miles, indicating prolonged periods of standing. However, the subsequent twelve months saw a sharp increase of 3,372 miles, taking the total from 6,775 to 10,147 miles. This sudden spike in activity after a sedentary period warrants attention, as extended standing can cause specific deterioration regardless of the low overall distance covered. A buyer should inspect components susceptible to deterioration from prolonged inactivity rather than high mileage wear. Tyres are a primary concern; check the sidewall date codes carefully, as rubber perishes with age, and look for flat spots from standing in one position. The braking system requires a thorough check for seized calipers and corroded brake discs, which are common on motorcycles left standing, even if the pads appear unworn. Examine the chain and sprockets for tight spots and rust, and verify that the battery holds a charge reliably after its dormant phase. Finally, assess the fork seals and suspension bushes for weeping or perishing, as lack of regular use can cause seals to dry out and crack.
