2007 Yamaha V Star 650 0.7L Petrol · AE07 NVM

The Yamaha V Star 650 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. In the March 2025 test at 8,646 miles the examiner passed the machine with no defects recorded. This follows the August 2023 pass at 8,642 miles, also clean. The absence of advisories across both entries shows no worsening mechanical condition over the 19-month interval. The recorded mileage sits at 8,646 miles against a 2007 build, an average of roughly 455 miles per year. The bike gained only four miles between the August 2023 and March 2025 tests. Such low and near-static mileage suggests extended standing periods rather than regular use. The sparse two-entry history offers little wear data, though no corrosion or consumable faults appear in either record. A buyer should still inspect the machine in person for issues that a stationary bike develops outside the test bay. Long idle periods degrade tyre sidewalls, brake caliper seals, and suspension bushes even when the MOT shows clear. Check the exhaust for internal rust and confirm the chain and sprockets have not seized from disuse. Given the clean advisories and minimal mileage, previous ownership likely stored the vehicle rather than rode it hard. Verify battery health, fluid contamination, and structural integrity beneath the bodywork before purchase, as the MOT record cannot capture dormant deterioration.
