Yamaha Tracer 900 (2019)
2019 Yamaha Tracer 900
CarHunch analysed 209 real MOT records for the 2019 Yamaha Tracer 900. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2019 Yamaha Tracer 900 passes its MOT first time in 87.3% of cases, comfortably above the UK average of 80%, and dangerous defects show up in only 5.7% of the cohort—well below the level that would raise red flags for a buyer. This is a genuinely reliable middleweight sports tourer with strong credentials.
At 10,865 miles average and 8,761 miles median, these bikes are running light for their age, which partly explains the solid pass rate. The real insight is in the advisories: 0.8 per vehicle suggests minor wear items like chain adjustment or brake pad thickness are the typical issues, not structural problems. If you're considering one, budget for routine chain and sprocket maintenance around this mileage point and you'll have a bike that should be trouble-free.
What to check before buying a 2019 Yamaha Tracer 900
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.
