2005 Yamaha TDM900 0.9L Petrol · CX05 CXV

The Yamaha TDM900 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 May 2025 at 41,658 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken four-year clean sheet. Prior tests on 1 May 2024 (41,363 miles), 21 April 2023 (41,215 miles), and 29 March 2022 (40,939 miles) each passed with no advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, no recurring consumable neglect, and no structural or mechanical risks flagged across the record. At roughly 21 years old the machine has covered just 41,658 miles, an average of about 1,984 miles per year. Mileage crept up only 295 miles between the March 2022 and April 2023 tests, then 148 miles to May 2024, and 295 miles to May 2025. Such low, near-flat accumulation points to light use or extended standing rather than hard riding. The DVSA data is sparse but clean, with no gaps, failures, or advisory entries to suggest deferred upkeep. A buyer should still inspect in person for age-related issues the MOT will not always catch. Suspension bushes, fork seals, and rear shock linkage on a 2005 unit can degrade through inactivity even without test flags. Check brake calipers for binding after standing, and confirm disc condition and fluid age. Examine the steel frame and exhaust for corrosion, particularly around welds and the sidestand mount. Tyres and coolant will need dating regardless of tread, as rubber and fluid age out long before wear shows. The record implies a carefully stored bike, but physical verification remains sound practice.
