2004 Yamaha TDM900 0.9L Petrol · DX04 GLZ

This motorcycle maintains a consistent record of roadworthiness across eight recorded tests, culminating in a clean pass on 28 May 2026. The overall trend is stable, with the vast majority of inspections resulting in no defects or advisories, indicating a vehicle that has consistently met the minimum legal safety standards over several years. The recorded mileage of 12,010 miles is exceptionally low for a twenty-two-year-old machine, averaging approximately 546 miles per year. Such a low rate of accumulation suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary. Mechanically, this usage profile shifts the focus from wear-and-tear components associated with high mileage to the potential degradation of seals, gaskets, and rubber components that can occur when a vehicle is not exercised regularly. Attention should be directed toward the braking system, specifically the central front brake which was noted as binding during the 2025 inspection. While this was not deemed excessive at the time and was not flagged in the most recent 2026 test, it remains a point of interest. During a test drive, the buyer should check for any uneven braking feel or a lack of free-rolling in the front wheel when the brake lever is released. Further inspection should focus on the condition of the tyres and the smoothness of the suspension travel. Given the low mileage and the age of the vehicle, the buyer should listen for any unusual noises from the engine or drivetrain during acceleration and deceleration to ensure that the low usage has not masked any underlying mechanical stiffness or lubrication issues.
