2020 Yamaha Tracer 700 (mtt 690 A)
CarHunch analysed 196 real MOT records for the 2020 Yamaha Tracer 700 (mtt 690 A). This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2020 Yamaha Tracer 700 achieves an 86% first-time pass rate, which sits 6 percentage points above the UK average—a solid result that reflects good baseline reliability. Dangerous defects are rare, appearing in just 2.5% of vehicles tested, so safety concerns aren't a red flag for this cohort.
These bikes are running relatively light at a median of 7,672 miles, which makes the high pass rate even more meaningful as a true reliability indicator rather than a sign of gentle use. With only 0.1 failures per vehicle on average and just 0.6 advisories, this model demands minimal intervention—if you're considering one, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on service history and cosmetic condition rather than structural wear.
What to check before buying a 2020 Yamaha Tracer 700 (mtt 690 A)
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.
