Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2021 Yamaha Mt 07 Abs?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

The 2021 Yamaha MT-07 ABS passes its MOT on first attempt 85.5% of the time, which is a solid 5.5 percentage points above the UK average of 80%, suggesting reliable mechanicals overall. Dangerous defects are rare at 4.6%, so safety concerns aren't a red flag for this cohort.

At just over 8,500 miles on average, these bikes are still relatively young and lightly used, which explains the above-average pass rate. The typical bike picks up fewer than one failure per test and less than one advisory, indicating well-maintained machines—but when you're buying used, ask the seller for full service history and check the chain, sprockets and brake fluid condition yourself, as these catch out more casual owners than you'd expect.
