1993 Yamaha RD350R 0.3L Petrol · K376 GWU

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by three consecutive MOT passes without any recorded defects. The most recent inspection on 20 July 2024 at 22,038 miles returned no failures or advisories. This consistency suggests that the previous owners have maintained a high standard of upkeep and that the mechanical components are currently operating within the parameters of the MOT testing standards. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 33-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 668 miles per year. Between the July 2022 test at 21,995 miles and the July 2024 test at 22,038 miles, the vehicle covered only 443 miles. This minimal usage indicates the bike is used sparingly or kept in storage for long periods. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it increases the risk of age-related degradation in static components rather than mechanical friction. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of rubber and fluid components that low-mile records often neglect. Check for perished brake lines, cracked fuel hoses, and aging brake hoses, as these materials degrade over time regardless of distance driven. Inspect the front fork seals for leaks and ensure the suspension bushings have not seized due to inactivity. Given the low mileage, verify the manufacture date on the tyres to prevent flat spotting or cracking, as tread depth is not the primary indicator of safety in this instance.
