2022 Yamaha YZF R7 (YZF690) 0.7L Petrol · RO22 LPC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in condition at the most recent inspection. While it passed the test in May 2026 at 8,873 miles, the tester identified two specific defects that were absent during the previous 2025 test. These findings suggest that while the bike remains functional, certain components are now beginning to require attention to prevent future mechanical failures. The mileage profile remains low for a four-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 2,218 miles annually. Between the May 2025 test at 3,543 miles and the May 2026 test at 8,873 miles, the vehicle covered 5,330 miles in a single year. This represents a significant spike in usage compared to its overall average and can lead to flat spots or internal corrosion if the bike sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer must specifically inspect the front brake system due to the slight fluctuation in brake effort noted in the 2026 record. This often indicates a warped rotor disc or a sticking master cylinder piston rather than total component failure. The noisy exhaust advisory also warrants a physical check for leaks, loose heat shields, or internal baffle damage within the manifold that could affect engine performance over time. Given the low mileage, check the tyres for age rot or flat spotting, as rubber degrades faster than the tread wears on low-use vehicles.
