Our Verdict
A strong purchase option for those seeki
Given the low mileage for a 2014 model, your primary focus should be on whether the motorcycle has been stored in a dry environment and if the tyres and fluids have been maintained despite the infrequent use. Check the age of the tyres; even with good tread, rubber can perish if the bike sits for long periods.
When negotiating, ask for any documentation regarding service intervals, as high-capacity 1679cc engines require specific maintenance regardless of mileage. Ensure the exhaust issue noted in the 2023 MOT was addressed, although the 2025 and 2026 passes indicate no recurring noise problems.
Running a 1679cc petrol motorcycle involves higher-than-average costs. Fuel economy will be lower than standard commuter bikes due to the large engine displacement, and insurance groups for VMAX models tend to be higher due to their performance profile.
Maintenance costs for a large-capacity Yamaha will include premium parts and potentially higher labour rates for specialist servicing. Expect an estimated annual running cost to reflect these performance-oriented requirements.
Inspect the exhaust system thoroughly, specifically looking for any signs of leaks or loose mounting points, following the 'noisy rear exhaust' advisory recorded in June 2023. While the 2026 MOT showed no defects, it is worth verifying the integrity of the exhaust heat shields and connections.
Additionally, check the condition of the drive chain and sprockets. On low-mileage motorcycles that may have been stationary for periods, look for signs of 'kinked' links or surface corrosion. Inspect the brake discs for any uneven wear or scoring that might have occurred during infrequent use.
This 2014 Yamaha VMAX presents with notably low mileage, having covered only 13,622 miles in approximately 12 years. The MOT history is largely clean, with the most recent two tests in 2025 and 2026 showing no defects recorded. One minor issue regarding a noisy rear exhaust was noted in 2023, but the vehicle has since passed subsequent inspections without further recorded faults.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Yamaha VMAX to provide a statistical comparison.
