1984 YAMAHA RD3500.3L Petrol

The Yamaha RD350 presents a stable and satisfactory roadworthiness status. In the September 2024 test at 32,230 miles the examiner recorded a pass with no defects, matching the clean result from the September 2023 test at 32,201 miles. The maintenance trend shows no deterioration across the two most recent annual examinations. The machine has covered roughly 767 miles per year across its 42-year life, with only 29 miles added between the 2023 and 2024 tests. Such low accrual indicates extended periods of storage rather than regular use. The supplied record contains just two entries and both are clean, so no recurring fault pattern or advisory history exists to judge owner care beyond confirming basic statutory testing was met. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection before purchase. Long standing invites perished suspension bushes, seized calipers, and internal corrosion invisible to a roadside MOT. The absence of advisories does not certify the condition of the exhaust, chain, or frame against age-related fatigue. Verify the odometer integrity and confirm the bike has not been idle so long that brake discs or wheel bearings have pitted. Given the sparse history, a precautionary fluid change and tyre sidewall check remain sensible regardless of the passed tests.
