1993 Yamaha GTS1000 1.0L Petrol · K376 XPK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent MOT in April 2026 at 49,267 miles. This result follows a minor defect in May 2025 where a damaged rear valve stem was identified, which appears to have been rectified prior to the subsequent test. The lack of defects in the last three tests suggests that the mechanical and structural components are being maintained to a high standard despite the age of the machine. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 33-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,500 miles per year. The data shows a period of significant inactivity between 2020 and 2025, where the vehicle covered only 553 miles over five years. While this low mileage reduces linear wear on the drivetrain and engine, such long intervals between use often increase the risk of age-related failures such as perished rubber lines, corrosion of internal seals, and the degradation of fluid components that are not always captured by a standard MOT inspection. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear suspension assembly, noting that the record from 2008 previously flagged a worn rear mono-shock pivot and free play in the suspension bush. Although these were not noted in later tests, the age of the components requires a close check for play, perished bushings, or structural corrosion around the swingarm pivots. Given the low usage, a thorough examination of the brake lines and the condition of fuel hoses is essential, as these parts are prone to cracking and failure over time regardless of the distance driven.
