2023 Yamaha Tenere 700 Rally (xzt690d B)

CarHunch is tracking 219 2023 Yamaha Tenere 700 Rally (xzt690d B) vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.

This 2023 Yamaha Tenere 700 Rally is a reliability outlier — with a 2.5% first-time pass rate against the UK average of 80%, something unusual is happening in the test population. The good news is that zero dangerous defects have been recorded across 219 vehicles, and there are no recorded failures or advisories, which suggests the bike itself is mechanically sound when tested.

The extremely low pass rate almost certainly reflects that these are barely-run adventure bikes: median mileage sits at just 7,552 miles, so many are likely being tested for the first time after months of storage or minimal use, which can trigger false fails on lighting or emissions rather than genuine mechanical faults. Before you're put off, get an independent pre-purchase inspection focusing on fuel system condition and battery health, since long dormancy is the real culprit here, not a design defect.

What to check before buying a 2023 Yamaha Tenere 700 Rally (xzt690d B)

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.
