1991 Yamaha Virago 1.1L Petrol · H29 LFA

The vehicle's roadworthiness status appears stable following the successful MOT pass on 14 April 2025. The record shows a failure on that same date at 12,110 miles, though no specific mechanical defects were documented in the provided data. This suggests a minor non-compliance was identified and rectified immediately to secure the subsequent pass. The recorded mileage of 12,110 miles is exceptionally low for a 35-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 346 miles per year. While this indicates very light usage, such low annual mileage often implies the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary. Long periods of inactivity can lead to issues with degraded rubber components, seized calipers, or fuel system contamination that may not be immediately apparent during a standard MOT test. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of all perishable items. Given the low usage, I recommend checking the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking and inspecting all suspension bushes and fuel lines for signs of perishing. The lack of recorded defects is positive, but the mechanical reality of a low-mileage vintage vehicle requires a close look at the battery health and any potential corrosion on the chassis or exhaust system.
