2002 Yamaha XVS1100 1.1L Petrol · CV02 OEY

The Yamaha XVS1100 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 March 2026 at 22,969 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 22,969 miles against a 2002 build date, equating to roughly 957 miles per year. The bike covered only 257 miles between the 12 July 2023 test at 22,376 miles and the 23 July 2024 test at 22,712 miles, then 257 miles again to the 2026 test. Such low annual use with no gaps exceeding two years suggests the machine was stored for extended periods rather than run regularly. The DVSA data shows four passes and zero advisories, so the record itself gives no evidence of deferred consumable replacement or structural neglect. A buyer should still inspect the machine in person given the age and standing periods. Long storage commonly degrades rubber suspension bushes, fork seals, and tyre sidewalls even when tread remains legal. The clean MOT history means no tester flagged corrosion to the frame or swinging arm, but surface rust on the exhaust and brake calipers should be checked physically. Brake discs and calipers warrant a hands-on check for pitting or binding after low-mileage dormancy. The drivetrain, including final shaft or belt depending on configuration, needs verification of lubrication condition. The absence of recorded faults implies prior owners kept basic upkeep current, yet the sparse test count leaves in-person confirmation of mechanical integrity essential before purchase.
