1985 Yamaha RD80 0.1L Petrol · B962 NBJ

The vehicle presents a consistent history of roadworthiness over the last five recorded tests. The most recent inspection conducted on 27 March 2026 at 7,032 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, mirroring the clean results from the 2025 and 2024 tests. This stability suggests that the mechanical and structural components have maintained a baseline standard that satisfies DVSA requirements without any recurring failures or emerging advisories appearing in the testing process. The mileage data indicates exceptionally low usage for a 41-year-old machine, averaging approximately 172 miles per year. Between December 2021 and March 2026, the bike covered only 23 miles, moving from 7,009 to the current reading of 7,032 miles. While this low mileage implies minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine, and tyres, it increases the risk of age-related rubber degradation, seal failure, and fuel contamination due to stagnation. The long intervals between tests suggest the vehicle likely sits for extended periods, which often leads to seized brake calipers or perished suspension bushes despite a lack of physical mechanical wear. Because the vehicle has spent significant time stationary, a physical inspection must focus on the integrity of perishables that the MOT does not always fully capture. The record does not flag structural corrosion or brake issues, but the age of the components necessitates a check for cracks in fuel lines and perished hoses. A buyer should verify the condition of the fork seals and the state of the tyre tread compound, as low mileage does not protect against the effects of time and oxidation over four decades.
