1993 Yamaha XJ600 0.6L Petrol · K760 JRB

This 1993 Yamaha XJ600 presents an immediate and serious red flag in its recorded mileage. The 2021 MOT shows 41,137 miles, yet by 2022 the odometer reads just 269 and then 296 miles. That is a drop of approximately 40,800 miles in one year, which is impossible for a vehicle that was not rebuilt or had its odometer replaced or tampered with. A buyer must treat the current 296-mile figure as unreliable. The most recent MOT (March 2022) was a pass, but it carried several advisories: a shortened clutch lever, slightly misaligned wheel alignment, and a missing chain guard. These are relatively minor issues, but they show that the bike was not presented in perfect condition even after the earlier failure. The 2021 failure was substantial. It included front wheel bearing play, rear wheel bearing play, a distorted front rim, a worn-out rear drive chain sprocket, front brake pads close to their limit, and a worn rear brake disc. Those are safety-critical items linked to hard use, neglected maintenance, or high mileage. The fact that these were repaired for the 2022 pass suggests work was done, but the quality of those repairs is unknown.
