1987 YAMAHA VMAX12001.2L PETROL

The most recent MOT for this 1987 Yamaha Vmax 1200 was conducted on 2023-09-04, with no defects recorded. The vehicle has consistently passed all MOT tests since 2019, with no safety-critical issues or advisories noted. The mileage of 83,718 miles remains unchanged across the last five MOT entries, suggesting the vehicle has not been used in the past four years. This raises questions about its storage conditions and potential for component degradation due to inactivity. The vehicle’s low annual mileage—roughly 2,147 miles per year—indicates either very light use or extended periods of standing. While this may reduce wear on consumables like brakes and tyres, it could also lead to issues such as seized components, degraded fluids, or battery failure. The absence of defects in the MOT history is positive, but the lack of recent testing (over two years since the last MOT) means critical faults may have developed undetected. The trend in MOT outcomes shows stability, with no recurring issues or worsening conditions. However, the long gap between tests and the low mileage create uncertainty about the vehicle’s current mechanical state. Older vehicles with low mileage often require careful inspection for hidden problems, such as rust, electrical faults, or fluid leaks, which may not appear in MOT checks.
