YAMAHA RD3501987 · 0.3L Petrol

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with all four MOT tests from 2022 to 2025 passing without defects. The most recent test on 2025-05-27 at 21,737 miles confirmed no issues, aligning with prior results. No recurring mechanical faults or structural concerns were flagged across the recorded history, indicating consistent maintenance. However, the absence of tests post-2025-05-27 raises a cautionary note, as the bike’s age and low mileage suggest potential dormant issues requiring closer scrutiny. The mileage of 21,737 miles over 39 years equates to an average of 557 miles annually, reflecting minimal usage. This pattern is evident in the MOT records, which show incremental increases of approximately 150–200 miles per year between 2022 and 2025. Such low accumulation may indicate prolonged periods of inactivity, increasing risks of corrosion, degraded rubber components, and seized mechanisms. Notably, the 2023-05-10 test at 21,303 miles and 2024-05-17 test at 21,585 miles both passed without anomalies, but the lack of recent data limits confidence in current condition. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the vehicle’s structural integrity, particularly for rust or fatigue cracks in the frame and underbody, given its age. Suspension components, including coil springs and bushes, may require assessment for stiffness or wear due to infrequent use. Brake systems, though unmarked in MOTs, should be tested for binding or uneven disc wear, as low mileage can mask gradual deterioration. Additionally, the exhaust system and engine seals should be checked for corrosion or leakage, common issues in vehicles with minimal operation.
