Our Verdict
A viable option for those seeking a clas
Focus your enquiry on the exhaust system; the MOT history shows a 'noisy exhaust' advisory from 2021 through to 2023, which may indicate a leak or degradation of the silencer. You should also ask for evidence of brake servicing, as both front and rear brake binding were noted in previous tests.
Given the age of this 1999 vehicle, ensure there is a documented service history to complement the MOT records. Negotiate based on the current state of the front tyre, which was noted as being close to the legal limit in February 2026.
With an 849cc engine, fuel consumption will be typical for a mid-to-large capacity petrol bike of this era. Insurance costs should be moderate, though the age of the vehicle may affect the availability of some specific parts.
Typical maintenance for a bike of this age includes regular oil changes and tyre replacements. Estimated annual costs will vary based on usage, but generally remain manageable for this model.
Inspect the exhaust for signs of corrosion or holes, as this was a recurring MOT advisory across three years. Check the front fork seals for any current leaks, following the 2021 report of oil misting on the nearside front shock absorber.
Additionally, test the brakes for any sticking or binding, as this was noted in 2021 and 2023. Finally, check the front tyre tread depth, as the February 2026 MOT explicitly noted it was worn close to the legal limit.
This silver 1999 Yamaha TDM850 has recorded 57,976 miles and has passed its last five MOT tests. While the test history is consistent, there are repeated advisories regarding exhaust noise and brake binding. It represents a low-mileage example of this 849cc petrol model.
Aggregate data is unavailable for the TDM850, but this specific vehicle has maintained a consistent MOT pass rate over the last five years.
