2008 Yamaha TDM900 0.9L Petrol · C12 TDM

The vehicle is in a stable and roadworthy condition based on its MOT history. The most recent test on 7 April 2025 at 32,695 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of five consecutive first-time passes dating back to March 2021, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets DVSA requirements. The mileage is exceptionally low for an 18 year old motorcycle, averaging roughly 1,816 miles per year. The usage pattern has remained steady over the last five years, growing from 19,893 miles in March 2021 to 32,695 miles by April 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest periods of heavy commercial use or sudden changes in ownership patterns. While the MOT record is clean, the low annual mileage and the age of the machine necessitate a physical inspection of components that degrade regardless of distance. A buyer should check for perished rubber components, such as tyre sidewall cracking and brake hose degradation. The lack of recorded faults suggests a diligent owner, but the potential for long periods of standing means the battery health and fuel system stability should be verified. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the calipers are not seizing, as low-use bikes often suffer from binding brakes. Check the fork seals for leaks and verify that the chain and sprockets have been lubricated and tensioned correctly. Given the 2008 manufacture date, a close look at the frame and swingarm for structural corrosion is advised, despite the absence of MOT advisories.
