2016 Yamaha XSR 0.8L Petrol · HK16 AAZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 14 June 2025 at 16,510 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting the motorcycle has been kept in a condition that meets all statutory safety requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a ten year old machine, averaging roughly 1,651 miles per year. There was a significant jump in usage between 2023 and 2024, where the odometer rose from 6,630 miles on 5 June 2023 to 15,643 miles by 15 June 2024. This indicates a period of heavy use followed by a return to lighter usage over the last year. The anomalous failure and immediate pass on 11 May 2022 at 5,144 miles, with no defects listed for either entry, likely points to a clerical error by the tester rather than a mechanical fault. Despite the clean MOT record, the low overall mileage and periods of potential inactivity necessitate a physical check of rubber components and fluids. A buyer should inspect the tyres for age-related cracking or hardening, as the rubber can perish even if tread depth remains legal. Check the brake fluid for contamination and ensure the brake calipers are not seizing, as bikes that stand for long periods are prone to binding. Verify the condition of the battery and the fuel system to ensure no degradation occurred during the lower-use years. While the MOT history shows no structural corrosion or suspension issues, a manual check of the chain tension and sprocket wear is advised to confirm the low mileage reflects a gentle ownership history rather than neglected servicing.
