2007 Yamaha Wr250f

CarHunch analysed 140 real MOT records for the 2007 Yamaha Wr250f. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2007 Yamaha WR250F passes its MOT first time in 87.5% of cases, which is a solid 7.5 percentage points above the UK average—a sign of genuine durability in this dirt bike class. The dangerous defect rate of 10.7% is well below the concern threshold, so safety issues are not a buying worry.

The median mileage of just 2,588 miles suggests these are weekend warriors or collector bikes rather than hard-ridden daily machines, which explains both the strong pass rate and the relatively low 1.33 average failures per test. With 5.1 advisories per vehicle on average, expect minor wear items like cables and consumables to need attention, so factor in routine maintenance costs when evaluating any example you're considering.

What to check before buying a 2007 Yamaha Wr250f

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.
