2017 Yamaha XVS 900 CUD-A - XV 950 R ABS 0.9L Petrol · XV09 DOG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean record across its latest inspections. The most recent test conducted in May 2026 at 9,295 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the motorcycle currently meets all legal roadworthiness standards. This follows a trend of clean passes since 2022, suggesting that mechanical components are being maintained without recurring structural or safety failures. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,033 miles per year. Between March 2021 and May 2026, the vehicle covered only 2,203 miles, which confirms very light use or significant periods of storage. While the low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, the March 2021 failure for a noisy exhaust at 7,092 miles suggests a potential issue with mounting or a leak at that time, which appears to have been rectified given the subsequent years of clean tests. A buyer should focus physical inspection on areas associated with low-mileage storage, specifically checking for perished rubber components that age poorly when exposed to the elements without regular use. Inspect the tyres for cracking in the sidewalls and examine the brake fluid for moisture contamination, as fluids degrade regardless of mileage. Given the clean history, verify that the fork seals are free of leaking and that the exhaust system remains secure without excessive corrosion to ensure the previous 2021 fault remains fully resolved.
