2017 Yamaha XVS 0.9L Petrol · FL17 NFN

The Yamaha XVS presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 August 2025 at 5,481 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across every available MOT entry. The recorded mileage reflects extremely light use for a nine-year-old machine. The bike covered just 699 miles between the 5 August 2024 test at 4,782 miles and the 2025 renewal, and only 200 miles across the prior year to 31 January 2023 at 4,582 miles. From the 17 May 2022 examination at 4,505 miles, total accumulation sits at 976 miles over three years. Such low annual averages of roughly 600 miles suggest long standing periods rather than regular running. The DVSA history shows no advisories or failures at any stage, so the dataset itself is sparse but consistently clean. A buyer should still inspect components prone to deterioration through inactivity. Extended storage commonly degrades tyre sidewalls, brake caliper seals, and suspension bushings even when external checks show no fault. The absence of recorded corrosion or structural concerns is reassuring, yet standing moisture can hide early frame or exhaust rust beneath panels. Given the fault-free record, no recurring mechanical trend demands correction. Prior owners clearly kept the machine minimally exercised and presented it for test in passing condition each time. Verify brake disc condition, fork seal weepage, and battery health in person before purchase, as these items fall outside standard MOT scope yet suffer most from low-mileage dormancy.
