2014 Yamaha MT 0.7L Petrol · MT07 AAA

The vehicle is currently in a stable roadworthy condition based on the most recent MOT pass on 1 March 2024 at 6,239 miles. This test was completed without any defects or advisories, indicating the motorcycle met all legal requirements at that time. However, the current date of 21 July 2026 means the MOT certificate has expired, and the vehicle is now overdue for a fresh inspection. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twelve year old machine, averaging roughly 520 miles per year. A significant gap exists in the records between July 2017 at 2,608 miles and April 2023 at 2,963 miles, during which the bike covered only 355 miles over nearly six years. The most recent jump to 6,239 miles by March 2024 shows a sudden increase in usage, with over 3,000 miles covered in a single year. Long periods of inactivity often lead to specific mechanical degradation that MOT tests may not fully capture. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the brake calipers for binding and the brake fluid for moisture contamination. The tyres should be checked for flat spots or perished rubber, as low-mileage bikes often run on old tyres that have hardened despite having plenty of tread. The fuel system and battery health require scrutiny given the years of minimal use. Check for signs of fuel varnish in the tank and ensure the battery holds a steady charge. While the MOT history is clean of structural corrosion or suspension failures, the lack of recorded advisories over a decade suggests a light-use history that necessitates a thorough check of all seals and gaskets for drying or leaking.
