2009 Yamaha XV 1900 A 1.9L Petrol · WP09 ECZ

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent pass record over the last five years. The most recent test in March 2026 at 37,310 miles resulted in a pass with only a minor wheel alignment advisory. This follows several years of clean records between 2021 and 2025, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have remained reliable without significant recurring failures. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 2,200 miles per year. Between November 2022 and March 2026, the vehicle covered only 3,521 miles, indicating periods of infrequent use or storage. While this low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and brake components, long stationary periods can lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid oxidation which are not always captured in standard MOT testing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by age and inactivity rather than just mileage. Given the alignment advisory in the 2026 test, a technician should check for uneven tyre wear, worn steering linkages, or perished fork seals that may cause the misalignment. The low mileage also makes it critical to inspect the brake lines for cracking, the tyres for flat spotting, and the fuel system for varnish, as these elements age regardless of low distance travelled.
