2003 Yamaha XVS 650 A 0.6L Petrol · FD03 XNJ

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent test conducted on 11 July 2025 at 21,598 miles passed with no defects or advisories. This reflects a clean record across the last five tests, indicating that the mechanical and structural components have been kept in a condition that meets minimum requirements without the recurring failures often associated with older motorcycles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twenty-three year-old machine, averaging approximately 940 miles per year. There is a notable gap in the records between April 2019 and June 2022, during which the bike covered only 473 miles over three years. Since 2022, usage has increased slightly, covering roughly 1,600 miles in the last three years. This low usage suggests the vehicle has likely sat for long periods, which often presents different risks than high-mileage wear, such as fluid degradation or corrosion. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection must focus on age-related degradation rather than mechanical wear and tear. Low-mile vehicles frequently suffer from perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, and degraded front fork seals due to inactivity. The buyer should specifically check the tyres for cracking despite deep tread, inspect the brake lines for elasticity, and verify the fuel system for signs of varnish. Given the age, the frame and swingarm should be examined for structural corrosion, as the MOT test does not always detect internal rust unless it is surface.
