2009 Yamaha TDM900 0.9L Petrol · OU59 YUT

The Yamaha TDM900 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 9 September 2025 at 65,603 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across the five available annual tests from 2021 to 2025, the machine cleared every examination without a single advisory or failure. This unbroken clean record signals consistent upkeep and no escalating mechanical concerns. At approximately 17 years old the recorded 65,603 miles equates to a low average of 3,859 miles per year. The history shows a marked gap between 2021 and 2022 where the odometer advanced 12,427 miles, then a steady annual rise of roughly 3,500 to 6,700 miles through to 2025. Sparse test entries before 2021 leave earlier use unknown, but the post-2021 data shows light, regular riding rather than sustained neglect or hard commercial use. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean MOT trail. Low annual mileage combined with a machine of this age invites dormant corrosion on frame welds, swingarm pivots, and exhaust headers that a road test will not always expose. Suspension linkage bushes, fork seals, and brake caliper pistons on a 2009 twin-cylinder tourer warrant hands-on checks for stiffness or weepage after years of partial standing. Tyre sidewall cracking and flat-spotted rubber from prolonged storage remain plausible even though no tester flagged them. Verify chain and sprocket wear, coolant condition, and the ABS sensor rings for rust. The absence of advisories suggests prior owners addressed issues pre-test, yet the record alone cannot confirm the depth of in-service care between examinations.
