2018 Yamaha MT-07 ABS 0.7L Petrol · HT18 CDF

This 2018 Yamaha MT-07 has covered approximately 35,310 miles, which averages out to a modest 4,414 miles per year. While this is relatively low for an eight-year-old motorcycle, the MOT history suggests the bike has seen a significant increase in usage over the last two years, jumping from roughly 11,000 miles in 2023 to over 35,000 miles by late 2025. The MOT history shows a stable trend regarding minor maintenance issues. The recurring headlamp aim defect indicates that the front end may have been adjusted or disturbed, but this is a simple fix. More importantly, the 2024 record noted front brake binding, which was addressed by the time of the 2025 test. Because the bike passed its most recent inspection with no recorded defects, the current mechanical condition appears to be well-maintained. The primary risk pattern here is the rapid accumulation of mileage between 2024 and 2025, where the bike covered over 13,000 miles in a single year. This suggests the motorcycle has transitioned from a lightly used machine to one that is being ridden regularly. You should look for signs of accelerated wear on consumables that would be expected from this recent uptick in usage. Given the history of brake binding, your first priority should be a thorough inspection of the front braking system.
