1994 Yamaha XV535 0.5L Petrol · L134 FHO

This Yamaha XV535 maintains a stable and exemplary roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 16 October 2025 at 17,183 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent five year trend of first time passes without a single advisory or failure, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 32 year old motorcycle, averaging roughly 537 miles per year. Between 15 October 2021 at 16,631 miles and 16 October 2025 at 17,183 miles, the vehicle covered only 552 miles over four years. Such low usage suggests the bike has spent significant periods stationary, which often presents different mechanical risks than high mileage wear. A buyer should focus on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Long periods of standing can lead to perished tyre compounds, seized brake calipers, and fuel system deposits. While the MOT records show no faults, the lack of wear-and-tear advisories over five years is unusual for a vehicle of this age. Check the condition of the rubber hoses, fork seals, and the battery health. Inspect the chassis and swingarm for surface corrosion or pitting, as low mileage bikes kept in damp environments can suffer structural degradation despite minimal road use. Verify the oil condition and check for any signs of fuel varnish in the tank. The clean MOT history is a positive indicator, but the static nature of the vehicle necessitates a thorough check of all fluid-based systems.
