2018 Yamaha MT-07 ABS 0.7L Petrol · WV68 FWR

The vehicle presents a technically roadworthy status based on the final recorded test, though the history suggests a lack of proactive preventative maintenance. The MOT conducted on 30 May 2022 at 19,446 miles passed despite several defects including a noisy rear exhaust, a loose silencer, and a missing rear chain guard. These issues represent minor mechanical neglect rather than systemic structural failure, but they indicate a reactive approach to component repairs. The recorded mileage of 19,446 miles over eight years is notably low, averaging only approximately 2,431 miles per annum. This low usage pattern suggests the motorcycle has seen minimal road exposure, which typically preserves wear on the engine, gearbox, and braking components. However, the significant time gap between the 2022 test and the current date implies the vehicle may have sat stationary for long periods, which often leads to rubber degradation, perished seals, and fluid breakdown that mileage alone cannot capture. A buyer must physically inspect the exhaust system to ensure the silencer brackets are secure and that the internal baffling has not deteriorated beyond repair. Given the missing chain guard noted in the records, the chain and sprockets should be checked for tension, stretch, and deep corrosion resulting from long-term storage. Additionally, examine the brake calipers and discs for pitting or seizing, as low-mileage vehicles are prone to surface rust on the rotors when not used frequently.
