2019 Yamaha XT 1200 Z Super Tenere 1.2L Petrol · L55 CBT

A consistent record of clean passes since 2023 was interrupted by a dangerous failure in June 2026 due to front tyre tread depth falling below the legal minimum. This failure was rectified on the same day to achieve a pass, indicating a trend of general roadworthiness punctuated by a critical safety defect regarding tyre wear. The recorded mileage of 75,943 miles reflects a steady usage pattern of approximately 10,849 miles per year. For a motorcycle of this age, such accumulation indicates consistent road use, which typically results in accelerated wear on high-friction consumables, braking systems, and drivetrain components. At this mileage, the mechanical evaluation must focus on the remaining lifespan of these wear items. Because the vehicle was flagged for a dangerous tyre defect, a physical inspection of the current rubber is necessary to confirm the tyres are appropriate for the vehicle's weight and usage. The buyer should examine the rear tyre for similar wear and check for uneven scrubbing across the tread, which may suggest issues with steering geometry or suspension alignment. Given the total mileage, the test drive should prioritise the assessment of the drivetrain and chassis. Listen for excessive chain noise or feel for snatching during gear transitions, and check for any play in the wheel bearings or steering head. Any vibration through the footpegs or instability during low-speed manoeuvres should be carefully monitored as potential indicators of worn suspension components or drivetrain fatigue.
