The 2021 Yamaha MT-07 has a first-time MOT pass rate of 78.5%, slightly below the UK average of 80%, which suggests marginally higher-than-average maintenance needs.

With only 0.12 failures and 0.6 advisories per vehicle on average, the MT-07 is mechanically straightforward, so if you're buying one, focus your inspection on routine maintenance history rather than worrying about hidden structural issues.
What to check before buying a 2021 Yamaha Mt 07 (mtn690)
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
