1993 Yamaha RD350 0.3L Petrol · L113 OCA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by three consecutive MOT passes without recorded defects. The most recent test conducted on 2 August 2024 at 12,456 miles resulted in no failures or advisories. This consistency suggests that the motorcycle has been maintained to a high standard and does not currently suffer from the mechanical or structural failures typically seen in vehicles of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a thirty-three-year-old machine, averaging approximately 377 miles per year. Between April 2022 at 11,876 miles and August 2024 at 12,456 miles, the vehicle covered only 580 miles over two years. This low usage rate indicates the bike is either used sparingly or has spent in storage for long periods. While low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often masks issues related to rubber components and fluid degradation that occur through time rather than distance Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection must focus on the risks associated with long-term standing. A buyer should specifically check for perished rubber lines, aged brake hoses, and fork seals, which can crack or leak regardless of low mileage. The lack of advisories in the records means the tester found no immediate corrosion or worn components, but a manual inspection of the frame for structural rust remains essential. Checking the age of the tyres is also critical, as old rubber loses grip and safety even when tread depth remains significant.
