2016 Yamaha XVS 0.9L Petrol · SW16 HMO

The 2016 Yamaha XVS demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded across six consecutive MOT tests, the most recent on 2025-06-24 at 2,255 miles. All tests from 2021 to 2025 show passing results with no advisories, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical issues. The absence of recorded faults suggests the vehicle has been well cared for, with no signs of deterioration in critical systems like brakes, suspension, or emissions. The mileage pattern reflects minimal usage, with the bike accumulating just 225 miles annually over its 10-year lifespan. The MOT records show gradual increases: 1,499 miles in 2021, rising to 2,255 by 2025. Gaps between tests align with standard annual intervals, and no rapid mileage spikes or prolonged inactivity periods are evident. This low usage may reduce wear on consumables but could also indicate extended storage, which might affect components like tyres, battery, and fluid systems. A physical inspection is recommended to verify the absence of hidden issues linked to low mileage, such as seized brake calipers, corrosion in hard-to-reach areas, or degraded rubber components. While the MOT history shows no structural faults, the buyer should check the frame for rust, assess suspension bushings for stiffness, and confirm the engine’s responsiveness. No recurring mechanical problems are flagged in the records, but the vehicle’s age and mileage warrant a thorough pre-purchase evaluation to ensure all systems remain functional.
