1990 Yamaha XV1100 1.1L Petrol · G499 SKM

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its last five consecutive MOT tests, the most recent on 2025-06-05 at 32,184 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the owner has prioritized basic upkeep, though the low mileage raises questions about long-term component wear. The vehicle’s mileage of 32,184 miles over 36 years equates to an average of 894 miles annually, significantly below typical usage for its age. This pattern implies infrequent operation or extended periods of inactivity, which can accelerate degradation in rubber seals, fluids, and electrical systems. The MOT records show no gaps in testing, with annual checks from 2021 to 2025, but the lack of higher-mileage data limits insight into wear on consumables like tyres or brake discs. A buyer should inspect for signs of corrosion, particularly in the exhaust system and underbody, given the low mileage and age. Suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, may require scrutiny for stiffness or dry rot due to limited use. The brake system should be checked for caliper binding or uneven disc wear, as static storage can affect hydraulic integrity. No structural issues were flagged in the MOT history, but a physical inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’s overall condition.
