2022 Yamaha Mt 07 (mtn690)

CarHunch analysed 945 real MOT records for the 2022 Yamaha Mt 07 (mtn690). This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2022 MT-07 passes its first MOT just 67% of the time, meaningfully below the UK average of 80%, which suggests either inconsistent maintenance practices among owners or genuine build/design quirks worth investigating before purchase. The dangerous defect rate of 1.7% is reassuringly low, so safety isn't the headline concern here.

These bikes are averaging just 7,485 miles at test, which is reasonable for their age, yet advisories cluster at 0.3 per vehicle—mostly minor wear items rather than structural problems. Before buying used, ask the seller for full service records and have any advisories from the last MOT checked by a Yamaha-trained technician, as this model's lower pass rate suggests preventive care makes a real difference.

What to check before buying a 2022 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.
