2016 Yamaha Tracer 700 MT-07 Tracer 0.7L Petrol · WD16 AAN

The 2016 Yamaha Tracer 700 MT-07 has demonstrated a consistently stable maintenance profile across its MOT history, with the most recent test on 2025-08-07 confirming a clean bill of health at 9,333 miles. No defects were recorded in any of the six consecutive pass certificates from 2020 through 2025, indicating no recurring mechanical failures or deteriorating trends in critical systems such as brakes, suspension, or structural integrity. The absence of advisories or failures across this decade-long record suggests disciplined ownership and adherence to routine servicing. Mileage accumulation aligns closely with the vehicle’s age, averaging approximately 933 miles annually over the past five years. The odometer progressed from 4,607 miles in July 2020 to 9,333 miles in August 2025, reflecting steady, low utilisation. There are no significant gaps in testing intervals, with annual or near-annual MOTs consistently submitted. This gradual mileage growth and regular testing frequency imply minimal stress on components, though the low usage could also suggest potential for longer-term storage-related issues such as fuel system degradation or tyre perishing, which MOTs do not typically assess. Prospective buyers should conduct a detailed pre-purchase inspection focusing on areas not fully evaluated in the MOT. Given the bike’s age, attention should be paid to exhaust system corrosion, particularly around the manifold and rear sections, as well as the condition of suspension linkages and swing arm pivots. Brake components, including discs and calipers, warrant scrutiny for signs of uneven wear or seized pins, despite the absence of binding issues in prior tests. Additionally, the chain, sprockets, and tyre tread depth should be inspected for excessive dry rot or uneven wear patterns, which may not have manifested as MOT failures but could indicate neglected maintenance. Finally, verify the frame and subframe for any signs of fatigue or corrosion, especially in regions prone to moisture ingress.
