2007 Yamaha TDM900 0.9L Petrol · WX07 HYY

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-01-24 at 23,319 miles confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. This pattern of consecutive passes—spanning from 2022 to 2025—indicates a stable maintenance history, though the lack of advisories or defects does not preclude hidden wear. The final test occurred just over six months ago, which is acceptable for a vehicle of this age, though it would be prudent to verify recent servicing beyond the MOT scope, particularly given its low mileage. The recorded mileage of 23,319 miles over nearly 19 years equates to an average of approximately 1,227 miles annually, which is unusually low for a motorcycle of this vintage. There are no abrupt jumps in mileage between tests, suggesting the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary or in light use. The most recent mileage increment—1,703 miles between 2024-02-06 and 2025-01-24—still falls well below average annual mileage for a motorcycle, which could imply deferred maintenance or storage without regular checks. The consistency of the mileage figures, however, means there is no evidence of aggressive riding or rapid component degradation. Given the absence of MOT advisories or defects, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on components prone to deterioration in low-mileage but aged vehicles. The suspension—particularly the rear shock absorbers and steering head bearings—should be checked for stiffness, fluid leaks, or excessive play, as these are often overlooked in lightly used motorcycles. The brake system warrants thorough examination, including disc thickness, caliper binding, and master cylinder condition, since brake wear is not always captured in MOT tests. Additionally, inspect the frame for corrosion, especially around the fuel tank mounting points and exhaust clamps, as rust can compromise structural integrity without obvious external signs. Finally, verify the electrical system, including battery health and wiring integrity, as prolonged inactivity can lead to corrosion or failure in connectors.
