YAMAHA XVS1252002 · 0.1L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable but aging maintenance profile, with the data indicating a significant lapse in testing for over fourteen years. The last recorded test in May 2012 at 6,289 miles showed a pass despite several minor mechanical irregularities, including an exhaust leak, a slightly misaligned wheel, and fluctuations in the rear roller brake effort. Given that no MOT has been performed since 2012, the motorcycle cannot be considered currently roadworthy and requires a comprehensive mechanical overhaul before any road use. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old machine, averaging approximately 262 miles per year. The record shows consistent use between 2009 and 2012, where the mileage climbed from 4,320 to 6,289 miles. However, the total gap in records after 2012 suggests the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods. Such low mileage often masks internal degradation of rubber components, fluid breakdown, and fuel system corrosion which are more likely to cause failure than mechanical wear from the odometer would suggest. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the tyres and braking system. The history notes a 2011 failure due to structural tears in both tyres, and given the age, any remaining rubber is likely perished and unsafe regardless of tread depth. The 2012 advisory regarding fluctuating rear brake effort suggests the hydraulic system or mechanical linkage may have seized or degraded due to inactivity. Additionally, the exhaust leak noted in the final test requires checking for deep corrosion, and the structural integrity of the frame must be verified for rust, which often thrives on long-term storage vehicles.
