1990 YAMAHA VMX12001.2L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last six years. The most recent test on June 5, 2023 at 24,336 miles resulted in a pass following a minor failure for a non-compliant horn sound. Since that electrical defect was rectified, the motorcycle shows no further recorded advisories or failures, suggesting that the primary mechanical and safety systems have remained within acceptable operating parameters during the recent period of ownership. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 36-year-old machine, averaging approximately 676 miles per year. Data shows a steady but slow accumulation, moving from 19,146 miles in 2017 to 24,336 miles in 2023. This low usage indicates the bike has likely been used for seasonal leisure or kept in storage for long intervals between tests. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components, perished seals, and fluid contamination which are not captured by mileage alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to long-term storage issues rather than mechanical wear. Given the lack of advisories regarding brake corrosion or structural rust, it is vital to manually check for cracking sidewalls, perished brake hoses, and degraded fuel lines. Inspect the fork seals for signs of leaking and examine the brake discs for pitting or corrosion caused by infrequent use. Since the last MOT was conducted over three years ago, a thorough check of the fluid system and battery integrity is necessary to ensure the vehicle remains safe for immediate road use.
