Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for those seekin
Given the very low usage—averaging just over 100 miles per year over the last four years—the primary focus should be on signs of stagnation. Check the service history to confirm if oil and filters have been changed based on time intervals rather than mileage, as oil degrades even when the vehicle is stationary.
Inspect the fuel system for any signs of varnish or corrosion resulting from long periods of inactivity. Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and other rubber components, as the 2025 MOT failure for a perished rear tyre suggests that rubber age is a recurring point of attention for this vehicle.
As a 1063cc petrol cruiser, fuel economy will be modest. Tax for a 1994 model is typically low, and insurance groups for this style of bike are generally accessible, though this varies by rider profile.
Maintenance costs for a vintage Yamaha are usually manageable due to the simplicity of the engine, though sourcing specific parts for a 30-year-old model can occasionally take longer. The estimated annual running cost is relatively low due to the current low-mileage usage pattern.
Prioritise the inspection of all rubber components. The May 2025 MOT failure for a perished rear tyre indicates that rubber degradation is a risk; check the front tyre and brake hoses for similar cracking.
Check the battery health and electrical connections, as the minimal mileage recorded between 2022 and 2026 suggests the bike may have spent significant time idle. Finally, examine the brakes to ensure they are not seized and that the fluid is fresh, as inactivity can lead to moisture build-up in the system.
This 1063cc Yamaha XV1100 presents an exceptionally low mileage trend, having covered only 443 miles between August 2022 and May 2026. Its MOT record is largely free of defects, with the only notable issue being a perished rear tyre recorded in May 2025. The most recent test in May 2026 was passed with no defects recorded.
No aggregate MOT data is available for the XV1100, but this specific vehicle has a consistent record of passing its tests.
