Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Yamaha Tenere 700 Rally (xzt690d B)?

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.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2022 Yamaha Tenere 700 Rally (xzt690d B)?

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 2022 Tenere 700 Rally has a first-time MOT pass rate of 71.9%, which sits 8 percentage points below the UK average of 80%, suggesting these bikes encounter more issues than typical on their first test. Dangerous defects are rare at just 1.7%, so safety concerns aren't a major worry here.

These machines are still relatively young with a median mileage of just over 5,000 miles, yet they're already showing a higher failure rate than the national average—this points to design or build quality issues rather than wear-and-tear. With only 0.05 failures and 0.1 advisories per vehicle on average, the problems aren't severe when they do arise, but if you're considering one, budget for some remedial work before purchase and have a pre-buy inspection focus on the specific systems that have tripped up earlier examples.
