2006 Yamaha TDM900 0.9L Petrol · YN06 HTU

The Yamaha TDM900 displays an exceptionally clean MOT record, with the most recent test conducted on 10 May 2024 at 15,248 miles resulting in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This consistent performance across the last five examinations indicates a stable and well-maintained machine. The absence of any flagged mechanical issues suggests that the motorcycle has been subjected to diligent care and regular preparation for its annual inspections. The recorded mileage of 15,248 over a twenty-year lifespan averages to approximately 762 miles per year, confirming a pattern of light, sporadic usage. The history shows a steady, incremental accumulation of miles between 2019 and 2024, which is preferable to a vehicle that has sat stationary for extended periods. While the low mileage is a positive indicator of limited wear on the engine and drivetrain, such infrequent use can sometimes lead to issues with fuel degradation or perished rubber components that do not always manifest during a standard MOT test. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on items that often deteriorate through age rather than high mileage. Examine the condition of the tyres for signs of sidewall cracking or hardening, as these may be older than the tread depth suggests. Check the brake fluid for signs of moisture absorption and inspect the cooling system hoses for brittleness, as these are common points of failure on low-mileage machines that have experienced long periods of inactivity. The lack of historical advisories regarding corrosion or suspension leaks is encouraging, but a thorough visual check of the fork seals and the exhaust collector box remains essential to ensure the bike remains in its current roadworthy state.
