1987 YAMAHA RADIAN0.6L Petrol

The Yamaha Radian presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 3 July 2024 at 16,238 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. The absence of any advisories across the two available tests indicates no escalating mechanical concerns within the recorded data. The machine shows exceptionally low use for its 39-year lifespan, accumulating only 16,238 miles or roughly 416 miles per year. Between the 15 March 2022 test at 16,205 miles and the July 2024 test, the odometer advanced just 33 miles, confirming prolonged standing rather than active riding. The two-test record is sparse and clean, with a two-year gap that leaves the intervening period unverified by MOT data. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection focused on age-related degradation not captured by a pass result. Long stationary periods on a 1987 machine invite perished suspension bushes, seized calipers, and internal corrosion within the fuel and brake systems. Structural integrity around the frame and exhaust mounting points warrants close visual checks for rust. Given the minimal mileage and clean history, previous keepers likely stored the bike rather than neglected routine care, but rubber components and fluids will have degraded on the clock regardless of use. Verify tyre sidewall condition and brake disc pitting before any road use.
