2015 Yamaha XVS 950 CU - XV 950 R ABS 0.9L Other · HXZ 5033

This motorcycle presents a stable and reassuring maintenance record. The most recent test in March 2024 at 10,029 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, which follows two prior clean passes in March 2023 and March 2022. Over three consecutive annual inspections, the DVSA testers have not raised a single advisory for tyre wear, brake performance, or suspension integrity, indicating no worsening mechanical trend over four years of testing. The mileage pattern reveals slightly uneven usage rather than consistent daily riding. The bike covered 4,085 miles between March 2022 and March 2023, which shows it was actively used during that period. However, between March 2023 and March 2024, it accumulated only 733 miles. The average of roughly 912 miles per year over eleven years is exceptionally low for this model, yet the record implies the machine has not been left to rot; it has simply seen light, occasional use in recent years. Because no component faults appear in the history, the absence of advisories does not mean the bike is without aged consumables. The brake fluid will likely be four or more years old, so a buyer should check its condition or plan an immediate replacement. Tyre age matters more than tread depth here, given the low mileage; examine the sidewall date codes for cracking. The suspension bushes, steering head bearings, and rubber fuel lines can degrade from prolonged periods of standing despite passing the annual inspection. Pay close attention to any corrosion around the exhaust headers and exposed chrome work, as these surfaces deteriorate silently when a motorcycle sits in damp storage between short rides.
