2022 Yamaha Tracer 700 (mtt 690 A)
CarHunch analysed 246 real MOT records for the 2022 Yamaha Tracer 700 (mtt 690 A). This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2022 Yamaha Tracer 700 passes its first MOT just below the UK average at 78.4%, which is marginally concerning but not a red flag—only 0.4% of these bikes have ever recorded a dangerous defect, so safety issues are rare. With a median mileage of just 5,372 miles for a two-year-old machine, these are lightly used sports-tourers that rarely need fixes: the average bike has had virtually no failures (0.04 per vehicle) and minimal advisories (0.1 per vehicle).
This cohort's gentle usage patterns and low failure rate suggest the Tracer 700 is reliable when properly maintained, though the slightly-below-average pass rate hints that some owners neglect routine servicing between tests. If you're considering one, check the maintenance history carefully and budget for a pre-purchase inspection to catch any deferred work—these bikes aren't fragile, but they do respond badly to neglect.
What to check before buying a 2022 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.
