Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Yamaha Tenere 700 World Raid Xzt690d?

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.

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2022 Yamaha Tenere 700 World Raid Xzt690d?

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.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2022 Yamaha Tenere 700 World Raid Xzt690d?

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.

Based on MOT data from 315 vehicles, the 2022 Yamaha Tenere 700 World Raid Xzt690d has a first-time MOT pass rate of 95.2%, indicating generally reliable for its class. Always check the full MOT history of any specific vehicle before buying.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2022 Yamaha Tenere 700 World Raid Xzt690d?

Moderate sample. 315 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

This Tenere 700 is underperforming against the UK average, with a 67.7% first-time pass rate versus 80%—a meaningful gap that suggests teething problems in the early years of this model's life. The good news is dangerous defects are rare at just 1.3%, so when failures do occur, they're typically manageable wear items rather than safety-critical issues.

At 8,606 miles on average, these bikes are still relatively new and lightly used, yet they're still struggling through MOT with an average of 0.07 failures and 0.2 advisories per vehicle—pointing to quality control niggles rather than hard-use damage. If you're considering one, budget for a pre-purchase inspection and ask the seller for full service history, as this model seems to need closer attention than rivals in its class.

The 2022 Yamaha Tenere 700 World Raid Xzt690d passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (95.2% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
