The Yamaha Serow presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 6 August 2022 at 27,051 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. The prior examination on 23 July 2021 at 26,831 miles also passed clean. Across the two available records the machine shows no advisories or failures, indicating the tester found no concerning wear in braking, suspension, or structural integrity during either inspection. The odometer climbed just 220 miles between July 2021 and August 2022, a rate of roughly 845 miles per year across the bike's 32-year life. Such low accumulation suggests extended periods of storage or light recreational use rather than daily commuting. The record contains only two entries spaced over a single year, so the history is sparse; no rapid mileage jumps or dormant gaps beyond the untested pre-2021 period are visible from the data supplied. A buyer should still physically verify components that static MOT snapshots omit. The Serow's age makes suspension bushes, fork seals, and coil springs prone to perishing even when unused, and standing time accelerates tyre sidewall cracking and brake caliper binding. Examine the exhaust for internal corrosion and confirm the frame and swingarm show no structural rust, as the 2022 pass predates today's date by nearly four years. Given the clean but limited record, budget for a fresh test and a thorough pre-purchase inspection. The previous keeper clearly kept basic upkeep current through 2022, yet absence of faults then does not guarantee present condition after prolonged lay-up.
