2016 Yamaha XVS 0.9L Petrol · AP16 JYV

This Yamaha XVS presents an exceptionally clean roadworthiness history, with a total absence of failures or advisories across its last five inspections. The mechanical stability of the motorcycle is confirmed by the most recent clean pass on 13 February 2026, indicating a vehicle that has consistently met all DVSA requirements without the emergence of chronic defects or wear-related warnings. Recorded mileage of 16,917 miles over a ten-year period reflects a low annual usage rate of approximately 1,692 miles. This limited operational history means that major drivetrain components and engine internals have experienced minimal wear compared to typical usage. However, such a profile indicates the vehicle has likely undergone extended periods of inactivity, which shifts the inspection priority toward the condition of seals and rubber perishables. Given the flawless MOT record, there are no specific component failures to address; however, a test drive should be used to verify that the low mileage is reflected in the vehicle's tactile performance. Listen for any unusual drivetrain noise or clutch drag and ensure the braking system responds linearly without any binding in the calipers, which can occasionally occur on low-use motorcycles. A physical inspection should focus on confirming the absence of surface corrosion on the frame and exhaust system, as the lack of MOT advisories suggests the vehicle has been kept in a stable environment. Check for any oil misting around the cylinder head or fork seals to ensure that the seals have remained supple despite the low mileage and periods of standing.
