1984 Yamaha RD125 0.1L Petrol · B135 XST

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 11 July 2025 at 26,053 miles with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean result suggests the motorcycle is in a high state of repair for its age. The recorded mileage of 26,053 miles is low for a 42 year old machine, averaging roughly 620 miles per year. The lack of mileage increase between the last test and the current date indicates the bike has seen very little use over the past year. While low mileage suggests less wear on the drivetrain, long periods of inactivity often lead to perished rubber components and fuel system gumming. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT does not exhaustively cover. Check for fuel system degradation and verify the condition of the tyres, as low-use vehicles often have tyres that are legally treaded but chemically aged and hardened. Inspect the brake calipers for seizing and ensure the suspension forks are not leaking oil, as seals frequently fail when a bike stands idle. Examine the frame and swingarm for surface corrosion or deeper structural rust, which is common in vintage Japanese motorcycles. Verify the electrical system is functioning correctly and that the two-stroke engine starts and idles smoothly without smoke issues that might indicate internal seal failure.
