1983 YAMAHA DT1750.2L Petrol

The Yamaha DT175 presents a stable roadworthiness status with no recorded defects across its three most recent MOT tests. The August 2023 examination at 26,464 miles returned a clean pass, matching the fault-free results from August 2022 at 26,431 miles and August 2021 at 26,399 miles. The maintenance trend shows no deterioration and no recurring advisory items requiring monitoring. Recorded mileage sits at 26,464 against an August 2023 test, reflecting roughly 615 miles per year since the machine left the factory in 1983. The three tests show only 65 miles accumulated across two years, confirming extremely light use and likely extended periods of storage. No gaps exist in the supplied history, though the sparse entries and clean sheets give little detail on component condition beneath the surface. A buyer should still inspect the motorcycle in person for age-related degradation the MOT does not capture. Long standing invites perished suspension bushes, seized fork seals, and internal corrosion within the fuel system or exhaust. The low annual mileage means brake calipers may bind through inactivity and tyres may show sidewall cracking despite adequate tread. Check the frame and swingarm mounting points for structural rust, and confirm the chain, sprockets, and wheel bearings remain free of pitting. The clean record implies a careful or occasional keeper, but forty three years will test rubber and metal alike regardless of miles covered.
