1991 Yamaha Serow 0.2L Petrol · J590 MHR

The Yamaha Serow presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 13 August 2025 at 28,812 miles which recorded a pass with no defects. Prior tests on 23 July 2024 at 27,092 miles and 23 November 2022 at 26,764 miles also passed cleanly, showing no advisories or recurring faults across the available history. The vehicle has avoided the typical deterioration seen in neglected older machines. At roughly 35 years old the recorded mileage of 28,812 is low, equating to about 823 miles per year. The gap between the November 2022 and July 2024 tests spans twenty months yet covers only 328 miles, indicating the bike stood idle or saw minimal use. From 2024 to 2025 it added 1,720 miles, a slight rise but still well below average annual riding. Sparse clean records give no evidence of rapid accumulation or consumable neglect. A buyer should still inspect the Serow in person for age-related issues the MOT does not capture. Long stationary periods risk perished suspension bushes, seized calipers, and internal corrosion in the fuel system or exhaust. Check the frame and swingarm for structural rust, and verify brake discs and tyres for cracking from low-use degradation. Given three consecutive passes with no advisories, previous owners appear to have stored the machine reasonably and addressed roadworthiness before each test. Confirm the odometer reading matches the logbook and scrutinise rubber components closely before purchase.
