1989 Yamaha XV1100 1.1L Petrol · F697 RBH

The vehicle presents a consistent and stable maintenance profile with no recorded failures or advisories across the documented history. The most recent MOT test on 16 October 2025 at 14,564 miles confirms the vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with no defects flagged. This clean record suggests a high standard of upkeep or a very low-stress operating environment, as the vehicle has passed every inspection since at least September 2021 without issue. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a 37-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 394 miles per year. The data shows a steady, incremental increase in distance covered, moving from 11,270 miles in September 2021 to 14,564 miles in October 2025. This pattern indicates the motorcycle is used for occasional, short-distance trips rather than heavy commuting. While this low usage reduces wear on drivetrain components and engine internals, it can sometimes lead to degradation in components that rely on regular movement, such as seals and gaskets. A buyer should focus on inspecting items that may suffer from age rather than mileage. Given the low usage, rubber components like fuel lines, fork seals, and tyre sidewalls may show signs of cracking or perishing despite having ample tread. It is also prudent to check for any signs of corrosion on the chassis or exhaust system, as vehicles that sit for long periods can develop surface rust or seized fasteners. Mechanical inspection should also prioritise the battery and electrical system. Low-use motorcycles often face battery discharge issues or oxidation on contact points. While the MOT record shows no issues with emissions or braking performance, a physical check of the brake fluid for moisture contamination and the condition of the suspension seals is recommended to ensure the vehicle is truly ready for regular road use.
