2018 Yamaha Tracer 700 MT-07 Tracer 0.7L Petrol · RJ18 ADV

The 2018 Yamaha Tracer 700 shows a wholly roadworthy status based on official MOT data. The most recent test on 20 May 2025 at 15,031 miles passed with no defects recorded, extending an unbroken run of five annual passes since 17 May 2021. The maintenance trend is stable, with zero advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any interval. Recorded mileage sits low for an eight-year-old machine, averaging 1,879 miles per year against the 15,031 miles logged. The chronology exposes uneven usage rather than consistent wear. Between 23 May 2022 at 12,288 miles and 24 May 2023 at 12,359 miles, the bike covered just 71 miles, signalling a long stationary period. Earlier, the 2021 to 2022 gap added 1,746 miles, while the 2023 to 2024 and 2024 to 2025 steps contributed 1,049 and 1,623 miles respectively. Such sparse, clean records imply the previous keeper fulfilled statutory testing but rode sparingly. No test ever cited suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions failures. A buyer must still inspect these components physically. The 2022-2023 lay-up likely allowed surface corrosion on brake rotors or stiffening of caliper slides. Tyres may exhibit age cracking despite ample tread, given the low yearly distances. Fork seals and rear shock units should be checked for weepage, as prolonged standing degrades elastomers. Previous ownership patterns suggest light recreational care rather than commercial neglect. The clean advisory sheet does not remove the need for a pre-purchase check of chain tension, wheel bearings, and structural integrity at the frame joints. The documented history establishes a sound baseline, but in-person verification of consumables remains prudent.
