2013 Yamaha XVS 0.9L Petrol · AY13 GCX

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 16 August 2025 at 1,162 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to May 2021, indicating a vehicle that has met the minimum legal safety standards without requiring corrective repairs during its annual inspections. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2013 model, averaging roughly 89 miles per year. The record shows a significant jump between August 2022 at 67 miles and May 2023 at 724 miles, suggesting a period of increased activity after several years of near-stagnation. Since then, the usage has remained light, with only 308 miles added between May 2023 and August 2025. While the MOT record is clean, the low mileage and periods of inactivity present specific mechanical risks. Long periods of standing often lead to perished tyre compounds, seized brake calipers, and degraded fuel system components. A buyer should manually check for brake binding and inspect the tyres for flat spots or sidewall cracking, as the MOT only confirms minimum tread depth and basic function. Attention should also be paid to the battery health and fluid condition. Oil and brake fluid degrade over time regardless of mileage. Given the low usage, ensure the engine oil is fresh and check for any signs of corrosion on the frame or exhaust, as stationary vehicles in damp environments are prone to surface rust that may not yet be flagged as a structural failure.
