2002 Yamaha XVS650 0.6L Petrol · KP02 UEL

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a highly stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 11 April 2026 at 33,375 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite an initial failure on the same day which listed no defects. This suggests a potential administrative error or a minor rectification that was addressed immediately, as the overall mechanical presentation remains consistent across multiple years. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,391 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap in use between June 2022 at 32,220 miles and April 2024 at 32,306 miles, where only 86 miles were covered in two years. Since then, the bike has covered 1,169 miles over the last two years. This pattern indicates intermittent use, which limits wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components but introduces risks associated with long periods of stationary storage rather than mechanical fatigue. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focused on age-related degradation rather than low-mileage wear. Inspect all rubber components, including fuel lines, brake hoses, and fork seals, for cracking or dry rot caused by lack of thermal cycling. Check the brake discs for pitting and the calipers for seized pistons, as low use often leads to surface corrosion. Examine the frame for rust in areas where the bike has not seen much airflow and ensure the chain and sprockets are not excessively seized, as long-term storage can cause links to rust despite low mileage.
