2016 Yamaha XP500 0.5L Petrol · LO65 ZPJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 18 July 2024 at 17,370 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the motorcycle has maintained its essential mechanical and safety standards since the previous inspection, showing a clean record in its most recent regulatory check. The mileage pattern is notably low for a decade-old machine, averaging approximately 1,737 miles per year. There is a significant five-year gap between the 2019 and 2024 tests, during which time the vehicle covered only 3,640 miles. While low mileage suggests minimal usage-related wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, fluid breakdown, and corrosion in exposed areas that do not always manifest through mileage alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyres and rubber components due to the low-use history. The July 2019 test flagged a rear tyre worn to the legal limit, and although the 2024 test was clear, the tyres may show age cracking or flat-spot from sitting. Given the long intervals between tests, verify the condition of the brake fluid, fork seals for leaks, and the drive chain to ensure the bike has not suffered from environmental neglect despite the low mileage figures.
