2007 Yamaha XJR1300 1.3L Petrol · FG57 AAY

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent record of passing its MOT tests. The most recent inspection on 5 August 2025 at 12,179 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a long-term trend of clean passes dating back to 2019, suggesting the motorcycle has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets DVSA requirements. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 19 year old machine, averaging roughly 641 miles per year. Between the May 2019 test at 10,779 miles and the August 2025 test at 12,179 miles, the odometer increased by only 1,400 miles over six years. This indicates the bike has spent significant periods stationary, which often presents different mechanical risks than high-mileage wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Long periods of inactivity can lead to perished rubber seals, cracked tyres, and internal corrosion within the fuel system. Check for brake caliper sticking or binding and verify the condition of the brake fluid and coolant, as these fluids break down over time. Inspect the suspension forks for oil leaks and ensure the chain is properly lubricated and free of surface rust. Given the lack of reported defects in the MOT history, the primary concern is not recurring mechanical failure but the effects of standing. Verify that the battery holds a charge and that the tyres remain within their safe age limit despite having ample tread.
