2007 Yamaha XV1700 1.7L Petrol · DS56 LFP

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a clean pass record over the last several years. The most recent inspection conducted in August 2022 at 26,080 miles resulted with no defects or advisories, indicating that the motorcycle was in a sound condition at that time. This follows a minor failure in March 2020 for a missing rear reflector, which was clearly rectified immediately before the subsequent passing result. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,373 miles per annum. Data shows significant periods of low use, particularly between 2020 and 2021 where the mileage increased by only 8 miles over an entire year. Between 2021 and 2022, the vehicle covered just 197 miles. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it also indicates the bike may have sat stationary for long durations, which can lead to degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the risks associated with low-mileage storage. Since no advisories were recorded in the 2022 test, a manual check is required to inspect for perished tyres sidewalls, cracked hoses, and corrosion on the brake discs. The brake calipers should be tested to ensure they have not seized due to lack of use. Given the age of the vehicle, verifying the frame for structural integrity and surface rust is essential, as the MOT record does not provide a deep analysis of non-related mechanical components.
