1989 YAMAHA UNKNOWN0.7L PETROL

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status based on its most recent inspection, though the record indicates a trend of minor mechanical neglect regarding hardware. In the July 2022 test at 25,800 miles, the motorcycle passed despite advisories for a worn rear suspension arm pin bush and a binding rear brake. While these issues did not result in a failure, they highlight the beginning of component degradation that requires monitoring to prevent future mechanical failure. The recorded mileage of 25,800 miles over a 37-year span is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 700 miles per annum. This low usage profile suggests the vehicle has spent long periods stationary or was stored rather than driven regularly. However, there is a significant gap of nearly four years since the last recorded MOT in July 2022. Such a long interval without testing often leads to degraded rubber components, perished brake fluid, and internal corrosion in areas that the low mileage alone does not suggest. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the rear suspension assembly to ensure the worn bush and pin have not progressed into excessive movement or structural play. The binding rear brake noted in 2022 warrants a thorough check of the caliper pistons and wheel cylinder for corrosion. Given the low mileage and age, the buyer should also inspect for perished fuel lines, cracked tires, and seized seals, as these are common failure points for low-mileage vehicles that sit for extended periods.
