2019 Yamaha Tracer 900 GT 0.8L Petrol · KT19 FDY

A motorcycle of this vintage showing four consecutive MOT passes with zero advisories or defects recorded across the 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 tests presents a notably clean DVSA record, with no flagged components in braking, lighting, suspension, steering or exhaust categories to suggest chronic wear patterns. The most recent pass on 4 September 2025 confirms continued roadworthiness at the time of testing, and the absence of any prior failure means there is no recorded remedial history to reconcile against later entries. Because every test in the available history is a clean pass, there is no advisory trend to interpret, and no specific component has been singled out by an examiner as requiring monitoring. The record is limited, and therefore, the apparent cleanliness is limited by the test data, though it does establish a baseline of legal compliance with no structural advisories or major items flagged. Against a seven-year age span, the recorded 9,999 miles equates to roughly 1,428 miles annually, which is a low accumulation rate for a motorcycle of this class and suggests either limited seasonal use, a primarily leisure or weekend role, or extended periods of storage. The MOT tests fall at roughly twelve-month intervals from May 2022 through to September 2025, indicating the machine has been presented for testing on a consistent annual basis, which argues against a long lay-up. Such low annual mileage typically means brake discs and pads may be subject to surface corrosion rather than friction wear, tyre sidewalls may show age-related cracking, and fuel system components, battery condition and internal rubber seals can degrade through standing rather than use. The drivetrain and clutch components are likely to be well within their service life given the limited mileage accumulation. For a prospective buyer, the absence of recorded advisories means there is no specific component history to investigate further on the MOT side, so the inspection focus must shift to items that low-mileage motorcycles commonly present regardless of test outcome. On a test ride, listen for any irregular knocks from the front suspension, particularly over uneven surfaces, as fork seals on machines that stand for prolonged periods can weep oil and produce misting on the stanchions; inspect the lower fork legs for any residue. Check the front and rear brake discs for corrosion pitting around the circumference and edges, and feel for judder or vibration through the lever or pedal under firm application, which would indicate uneven disc wear or surface degradation. Examine the brake calipers for binding by rolling the machine forward and backward off the stand to confirm the wheel rotates freely without resistance. Additional checks should focus on the chain and sprockets for stiff links due to infrequent lubrication, the battery for holding charge and cranking speed, and all electrical systems including lights, indicators and the dashboard for stored fault codes given the machine's sports-touring specification. Inspect tyres closely for perishing, cracking or uneven hardening of the compound, as tyres fitted several years ago may have degraded chemically despite having adequate tread depth, and confirm date codes on the sidewalls. Lift the seat and check for any signs of rodent ingress in the airbox or undertray areas if the machine has been stored, and verify the operation of the quick-shifter, traction control and riding modes if equipped, as electronic faults may not form part of the MOT but are relevant to a GT-trim motorcycle. Finally, confirm the service book stamp history directly with the supplying dealer or previous keeper, as the MOT record alone cannot establish routine maintenance intervals.
