1992 Yamaha Virago 0.8L Petrol · J664 RDH

The 1992 Yamaha Virago presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 September 2025 at 21,500 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT results from 2021 through 2025. Recorded mileage sits at 21,500 against roughly 34 years of age, an average of near 632 miles per year. The DVSA entries show gentle, consistent use: 19,808 miles in September 2021, rising to 19,966 by September 2022, 20,710 in September 2023, 21,302 in September 2024, and 21,500 in September 2025. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear. The sparse, fault-free history implies a low-use machine kept under sheltered, light-running conditions by prior keepers. A clean MOT sheet does not exempt the buyer from physical inspection. Standing time at low mileage invites perished rubber suspension bushes, hardened fork seals, and tyre sidewall cracking unseen by the tester. The Virago's steel frame and exhaust demand a close check for structural corrosion, especially around the steering head and rear subframe. Brake calipers and discs should be stripped for binding or pitting after years of minimal road time. Confirm the clutch and final-drive chain show no slack or rust. The spotless record suggests diligent storage rather than heavy wear, yet a pre-purchase hands-on check remains essential on a 34-year-old machine.
