2016 Yamaha MT-09 Tracer ABS 0.8L Petrol · MT09 MCC

An exceptionally low usage profile defines this vehicle, which shows a consistent record of roadworthiness with its most recent MOT pass on 13 April 2026. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories across the testing history indicates a clean regulatory record, though the lack of documented mechanical issues provides no insight into the condition of consumables or fluid health beyond what is required for a standard inspection. The recorded mileage of 4,104 miles over a ten-year period represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 410 miles. This extremely low mileage suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary rather than being subjected to regular, high-frequency road use. While this minimizes wear on the drivetrain, tyres, and braking systems, such a pattern often necessitates a closer inspection of components that can degrade through inactivity, such as seals, gaskets, and fuel system integrity. Given the minimal mileage and the potential for long periods of standing, a physical inspection should focus on checking for any signs of fluid weeping from the forks, engine casings, or brake calipers. On a test drive, pay close attention to the smoothness of the throttle response and the absence of any hesitation, which can occur if fuel has sat in the system for extended periods. It is also necessary to verify that the brake lever feel is firm and consistent, ensuring no air has entered the system or that seals have perished due to lack of use. The suspension and chassis should be evaluated for any signs of stiction or uneven movement, particularly if the vehicle has been stored in damp conditions. Listen for any unusual knocks or clicks when navigating uneven surfaces, which could indicate that rubber bushes or seals have hardened or perished. While the MOT record is clear of structural or mechanical failures, the primary risk with this specific usage profile is the degradation of components through age and inactivity rather than mechanical wear.
