Our Verdict
This 2016 Yamaha MT-07 Tracer represents
Given that all four recorded MOT tests have resulted in passes, the regulatory record is favourable, though MOT outcomes alone do not confirm mechanical condition or maintenance standards. When viewing, ask the seller for evidence of routine servicing — Yamaha MT-07 models benefit from regular valve clearance checks (typically every 26,000 miles or four years) and chain and sprocket inspection. The front tyre advisory on the most recent test suggests replacement is likely due, so factor approximately £120-£180 for a quality sports-touring tyre and fitting into your offer.
The brake fluid advisory is straightforward to address and should not deter a purchase, but use it as leverage for negotiation. Confirm the rear brake system has been inspected for pad wear and that the master cylinder reservoir is clean. Verify that the 689cc parallel-twin engine starts cleanly from cold, idles smoothly, and that the gearbox selects all ratios without crunching — these are common wear points on higher-mileage examples. Check for any signs of a dropped bike, including scuffs on the exhaust, bar ends, and frame sliders.
The Yamaha MT-07 Tracer is known for being economical, with typical fuel consumption around 55-65 mpg depending on riding style, giving a real-world range of approximately 180-200 miles from its 17-litre tank. As a 689cc petrol motorcycle registered before April 2017, it sits in the older road tax bracket at around £40-£45 per year for standard rates. Insurance for the MT-07 Tracer typically falls into the lower-to-middle groupings, with annual premiums for experienced riders usually between £300-£500 depending on location and history.
Routine servicing costs are modest for this model, with an annual oil change and filter typically costing £120-£180 at an independent motorcycle workshop. Major service intervals including valve clearance checks are priced higher, generally £300-£450. Tyres are a notable recurring cost — a matched pair of quality tyres runs £200-£280 fitted. Combining fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, expect an annual running cost in the region of £800-£1,000 for moderate mileage.
The MOT history shows a front tyre tread advisory and a low rear brake fluid level on the most recent 2025 test — both items should be verified as resolved or budgeted for. Inspect the front tyre carefully for uneven wear patterns that might indicate fork or suspension issues, and check the rear brake caliper and pads for wear given the brake fluid advisory. Confirm the brake fluid has been refreshed, as old fluid absorbs moisture and reduces braking performance.
On the MT-07 Tracer specifically, inspect the swingarm pivot area for any grease seepage and check the chain and sprockets for wear — sprocket replacement typically costs £150-£200 plus labour. Examine the rear shock linkage bearings, which can develop play on higher-mileage examples. Check the throttle bodies for smooth operation and look for any hesitation or idle irregularities that could indicate intake or fuelling issues. Finally, verify the reg plate MT07ADE corresponds to the VIN stamped on the frame, and that the grey paintwork is original — colour changes can affect insurance and resale.
This Yamaha Tracer 700 (MT-07 Tracer) was first registered in December 2016 and is powered by a 689cc petrol engine, finished in grey. Four MOT tests are recorded between 2022 and 2025, all resulting in passes, with the most recent at 6,631 miles on 24 June 2025. Two minor advisories were noted on the latest test, relating to front tyre tread and rear brake fluid level. The mileage progression from 3,038 to 6,631 miles across roughly three years of testing suggests light-to-moderate use for a motorcycle of this age.
No aggregate MOT data has been provided for the Yamaha MT-07 Tracer, so a statistical reliability rating cannot be established from the source material. The MT-07 platform is broadly regarded in the motorcycling press as a dependable middleweight.
