2008 Yamaha XV 1900 A 1.9L Petrol · DP57 BKZ

The Yamaha XV1900 A is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 24 July 2026 at 29 677 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a clear improvement: after a series of failures between 2018 and 2021—including throttle malfunction, mis‑positioned direction indicators, exhaust noise, missing rear reflector and low headlamp aim—the last three tests (2024 March, 2025 July and 2026 July) are clean passes, indicating the issues have been resolved and the vehicle is now in a stable condition. Mileage accumulation remains low for an eight‑year‑old machine, averaging roughly 1 650 miles per year. However, the record contains two entries logged at 0 miles (29 March 2024 and 1 May 2023), which suggests the bike was stored for extended periods. The increase from 28 289 miles (11 July 2025) to 29 677 miles (24 July 2026) is modest, confirming light overall usage. The recent data set is sparse but consistently clean, reinforcing the low‑wear pattern. A prospective buyer should inspect the throttle linkage for smooth operation, verify that all direction indicators illuminate and are correctly aligned, and listen for exhaust noise. The rear reflector and registration‑plate lamp should be checked for proper illumination, and headlamp aim should be confirmed against the DVSA standard. Despite low mileage, age‑related wear on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes and any signs of corrosion should be examined, as these components can degrade independently of usage.
