1990 YAMAHA TDR1250.1L Petrol

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition based on the most recent inspection. The test conducted on 7 May 2025 at 23,584 miles resulted in a pass with only a single advisory regarding a worn rear shock absorber bush. This indicates a stable maintenance trend, as there are no major mechanical failures or structural defects recorded in the available history to suggest ongoing deterioration. The recorded mileage of 23,584 miles is exceptionally low for a 36-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 655 miles per annum. This low usage suggests the bike has likely been stored or used only occasionally rather than being subjected to daily commuting. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often increases the risk of rubber-component degradation and fluid breakdown due to time rather than mechanical strain. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the rear shock absorber assembly mentioned in the May 2025 advisory, as a worn bush can lead to erratic handling or premature wear if left unaddressed. Given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, a thorough check of the structural integrity for deep-seated corrosion is essential, alongside an inspection of fuel lines and brake seals, which can perish over decades regardless of the distance travelled.
