2005 Yamaha XVS1100 1.1L Petrol · DX05 EUT

The 2005 Yamaha XVS1100 is presently roadworthy, the September 22 2025 MOT at 65,550 miles showing no defects and confirming a stable maintenance trend after the 2023 failure was corrected, with clean passes in September 2024 and October 2023. The mileage profile shows roughly 3,121 miles per year, well below the typical wear rate for a 21‑year‑old machine. Increments were modest, rising from 56,700 miles in September 2022 to 59,542 miles in October 2023, then to 61,948 miles in September 2024 and finally to 65,550 miles in September 2025, indicating steady but not rapid accumulation. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, confirm that the rear calipers are not binding, check the brake discs for scoring, corrosion or uneven wear, and examine the chassis and subframe for structural rust, especially around the wheel arches. The exhaust system and emission levels should also be verified, as any lingering issues could affect long‑term reliability.
