2016 Yamaha XVS 0.9L Petrol · GF16 CWK

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes across its tenure. The most recent test conducted on 14 March 2026 at 5,038 miles recorded no defects, indicating a stable mechanical and structural condition. This flawless record suggests the motorcycle has remained well-maintained and operated without the recurring failures or deteriorating issues often seen in vehicles of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old machine, averaging approximately 504 miles per year. Between September 2019 and July 2021, the vehicle covered only 17 miles, suggesting long periods of inactivity or storage. A more noticeable increase in usage occurred between July 2022 and March 2026, where the mileage rose from 3,799 to 5,038 miles. While the low annual mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, the long intervals between use can pose specific risks to stationary components. Given the lack of recorded advisories or mechanical faults, a physical inspection should focus on items associated with long-term storage rather than mechanical wear. A buyer must check for flat spots on tyres, cracking in the rubber compounds, and seized brake calipers due to lack of movement. The brake fluid should be inspected for moisture absorption and degradation, while the fuel system should be checked for signs of varnish or old fuel. Although the MOT history reflects a well-kept vehicle, the low mileage necessitates a thorough check that seals and hoses have not perished from age rather than use.
