1977 Yamaha XS750 0.9L Petrol · ROP 697R

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, showing a trend of clean passes over the last several years. The most recent test on 27 May 2023 at 339 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates an improvement from the 2014 inspection, which flagged structural modifications and an exhaust leak, suggesting that previous issues have been addressed or the components have not deteriorated. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 49-year-old motorcycle, averaging roughly seven miles per year over its lifespan. There is a significant six-year gap between the 2015 and 2021 tests, during which the vehicle covered only 19 recorded miles. Since the April 2021 test, the bike has covered an additional 83 miles over three years. While low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, such long periods of standing often mask age-related degradation of rubber seals and fluid chemistry that mileage alone does not capture. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the modified components noted in the earlier records. The 2014 test highlighted a modified rear brake component and rear end modifications, which require a thorough check for structural integrity and compliance with safety standards. Additionally, the handlebar mounting which was flagged as deteriorated twelve years ago should be verified to ensure corrosion has not progressed. Given the extremely low usage, the priority should shift to checking for perished tyres, degraded brake hoses, and seized brake calipers, as these are common failure points for vehicles that remain stationary for extended periods.
