2009 Yamaha RD350 0.3L Petrol · B751 UFK

The roadworthiness status of this Yamaha is currently sound, supported by a clean pass recorded on the seventh of April 2025 at seven thousand four hundred and eighty-two miles. This follows an initial failure five days prior on the second of April 2025, though the test record lists no specific defect codes for either event, suggesting a purely administrative refusal rectified immediately. The maintenance trend remains stable with zero advisory items or chronic mechanical failures noted across the available history. The machine is roughly seventeen years old with a total recorded mileage of seven thousand four hundred and eighty-two miles, averaging approximately four hundred and forty miles per annum. This exceptionally low usage creates a stark operational gap in the data, evidenced by a nearly three-year silence between the twelfth of August 2022 pass and the April 2025 testing cycle. Extended periods of inactivity like this often point to long-term storage, which demands careful verification of fuel system integrity and rubber components. Physical inspection should focus heavily on fuel system degradation, carburetor varnish, and internal tank corrosion resulting from prolonged periods of standing. Check all rubber components including fork seals, fuel lines, and tyres for hardening or dry rot, as these degrade with age rather than mileage accumulation. Verify the condition of the two-stroke oil pump, exhaust expansion chambers, and braking hydraulics to ensure cylinders and lines remain free from seizure or fluid contamination.
