1986 YAMAHA RD0.1L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a maintenance trend that has improved in recent years. The most recent inspection conducted in July 2021 at 19,836 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed or the vehicle has remained in a state of compliance since the last test. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a machine of approximately 40 years age, averaging roughly 500 miles per year. There is a significant seven-year gap between the July 2014 and 2021 tests, during which the motorcycle covered only 449 miles. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine, such long periods of stationary use often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, fluid seals, and internal corrosion of metal surfaces which are not fully captured by a standard Test test. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough in-person inspection of the wheel bearings, as these were flagged as rough or having free play across multiple tests between 2012 and 2014. Although the 2021 test was clear, the history of these faults suggests a susceptibility to bearing wear or poor lubrication. Additionally, the front suspension forks should be checked for oil leaks, following the misting noted in 2010, to ensure the seals have not perished due to age and dryness. Given the age and low usage, a close check for structural rust on the frame and perished hoses is also warranted to ensure the long-term integrity of the vehicle.
