1987 YAMAHA V-MAX121.2L Petrol

The V-Max presents a roadworthy status as of the 1 May 2024 pass at 43,278 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recent record. The latest test passed with no defects recorded, though the same date shows a prior failure with no defects listed, an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior passes in April 2023 at 42,147 miles and May 2022 at 40,501 miles also carried clean sheets, indicating no recurring advisories or worsening condition across the observed period. Recorded mileage sits at 43,278 against a 1987 build, averaging roughly 1,110 miles per year. The bike gained only 1,131 miles between the May 2022 and April 2023 tests, then 1,777 miles to the May 2024 pass, a consistently low annual use pattern. Such limited running over 39 years suggests long standing periods rather than wear from distance, though the sparse four-entry history leaves little visibility of pre-2022 care. A buyer should still inspect for corrosion on the frame and exhaust given the age and likely storage cycles, as MOT cleans do not confirm structural integrity between tests. The front and rear suspension bushes, fork seals, and brake calipers warrant hands-on checks for binding or fluid weep despite no advisories raised. Tyres and brake discs should be measured for perishing from low-mileage idle, not tread wear from use.
