CarHunch analysed 495 real MOT records for the 2021 Yamaha Tracer 700 (mtt 690 A). This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2021 Yamaha Tracer 700 passes its first MOT 86.6% of the time, which is a solid 6.6 percentage points above the UK average of 80%, and dangerous defects are rare at just 2.0% of the cohort. This is a genuinely reliable middleweight sports tourer with no significant reliability red flags for buyers to worry about.
At just over 7,000 miles median mileage, these bikes are still relatively low-run for their age, which explains why they average only 0.1 failures and 0.3 advisories per vehicle at test. If you're buying one, check the service history carefully since low mileage doesn't always mean good maintenance, and confirm the chain, sprockets and brake pads have been properly looked after—the most common wear items on these bikes.
What to check before buying a 2021 Yamaha Tracer 700 (mtt 690 A)
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
