1983 YAMAHA DT1250.1L Petrol

The 1983 Yamaha DT125 shows a passed roadworthiness result at its most recent test on 17 June 2022, with the maintenance trend appearing stable given the clean result and absence of recorded defects. The same date also carries a failed entry at identical mileage, yet the DVSA record lists no defects against that failure, suggesting an administrative or presentation anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage stands at 9,994 miles across roughly 43 years, equating to about 232 miles per year. The only two MOT entries both fall on 17 June 2022 at that same 9,994 miles, so the history is sparse and shows no accumulation between tests. Low annual use of this order often means long standing periods, which on a machine of this age typically allows corrosion and perished rubber components to develop unseen. A buyer should physically inspect the frame and swinging-arm for structural rust, check suspension bushes and fork seals for degradation from inactivity, and confirm the brake calipers are not binding after storage. The exhaust system and emissions hardware warrant close examination for internal rot. Given the twin same-day entries with no defects logged, the buyer should also obtain the DVSA failure reason in writing to rule out any omitted advisory.
