Yamaha Xt660x (2007)
2007 Yamaha Xt660x
CarHunch analysed 117 real MOT records for the 2007 Yamaha Xt660x. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2007 Yamaha XT660X passes its MOT first time at 87.6%, comfortably above the UK average of 80%, and dangerous defects are rare at just 11.1%—a reassuring sign for a bike of this age. This is a genuinely reliable workhorse that most owners will keep on the road without major drama.
The median mileage of 11,265 is modest for a 17-year-old machine, suggesting owners haven't thrashed these bikes, though the 1.3 average failures per test and 4.9 advisories indicate routine maintenance items will crop up. When shopping for one, budget for steady upkeep on wear items rather than structural surprises, and get a pre-purchase inspection to check brake lines, chain wear, and battery condition—the things that rack up those advisories.
What to check before buying a 2007 Yamaha Xt660x
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.
