1991 Yamaha XT350 0.3L Petrol · H401 GEG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, demonstrating a consistent clean record across the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 23 June 2025 at 9,853 miles passed with no defects recorded, mirroring the results of perfect scores in previous tests. This continuity suggests that the motorcycle has been maintained to a standard that avoids immediate safety or environmental failures under the MOT testing criteria. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 35-year-old machine, averaging approximately 282 miles per year. Between August 2020 at 9,282 miles and June 2025 at 9,853 miles, the bike covered only 571 miles total. Such low usage indicates the vehicle is likely used sparingly or has sat for long periods between tests. While this reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, long-term stationary storage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid chemistry irrespective of the mileage. Given the lack of recorded adviseories or faults, a physical inspection must focus on age-related decay rather than mechanical fatigue. A buyer should specifically check for perished or cracking in fuel lines, air hoses, and fork seals, which become brittle over decades of inactivity. The braking system requires close scrutiny for internal corrosion or seizing within the calipers, as low use can cause pistons to stick. Additionally, the structural integrity of the frame needs to be verified for hidden rust, as the MOT test does not always uncover corrosion in de-reachable areas of older frames.
