2010 Yamaha XP500 0.5L Petrol · LD10 CWK

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 31 March 2026 at 14,899 miles resulted in no defects, indicating a stable mechanical and structural condition. This trend suggests that the motorcycle has been well-maintained and protected from recurring mechanical failures or significant corrosion over the last five testing cycles. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old machine, averaging approximately 931 miles per year. Between May 2022 and May 2023, the vehicle covered only 126 miles, suggesting a long period of storage. However, there has been a notable increase in usage between May 2024 and March 2026, where the vehicle clocked 6,642 miles in just under two years. While this reflects more frequent use of the drivetrain and consumables, the total mileage remains well below the expected wear for a vehicle of this vintage. Given the lack of recorded faults in the history, a physical inspection should focus on components associated with long-term standing and low annual mileage. Check for cracking in tyre sidewalls and degradation of rubber components, as low-mileage often leads to dry rot regardless of tread depth. Inspect the brake fluid for moisture ingress and ensure the calipers are not showing signs of seizing from the documented periods of inactivity. Additionally, examine the frame for any surface rust that may have developed during periods of storage, despite the clean test records.
