2000 YAMAHA XV 250 S0.2L Petrol

The Yamaha XV 250 S presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 31 July 2025 at 12,402 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Every annual examination from 2021 through 2025 returned a pass with no advisories logged. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, no recurring mechanical concerns, and no structural or consumable warnings across the five-year record. At roughly 26 years old the machine carries 12,402 recorded miles, an average of about 477 miles per year. The MOT entries confirm extremely light use: the odometer moved only 176 miles between July 2021 (11,809) and July 2025 (12,402). Annual increments stayed under 400 miles throughout, with the largest single-year rise being 318 miles from July 2023 to July 2024. Such low accumulation implies the bike spent long periods stationary rather than covering regular road miles. A clean pass history with zero advisories means the official record raises no flag on suspension bushes, brake discs, calipers, exhaust emissions, or chassis corrosion. The sparse data gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repair. A buyer should still view this as a low-use older machine that may have stood unused for extended spells. In person, inspect tyres for sidewall cracking from age rather than wear, check brake calipers for seizure after long storage, and examine frame and exhaust for surface rust. Verify the chain, sprockets, and fork seals for deterioration linked to inactivity. The MOT record supports roadworthiness, but static age-related defects will not appear until a tester rides the bike.
