2004 Yamaha XJR1300 1.3L Petrol · SK54 AMX

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 19 March 2026 at 22,078 miles returned no recorded defects or advisories. This trend of perfect scores over the last five years suggests that the primary mechanical and structural components have remained within operating parameters without triggering any failures during the annual inspection process. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,000 miles per year. Between April 2022 at 21,587 miles and March 2026 at 22,078 miles, the bike covered only 491 miles. Such minimal usage indicates the vehicle has likely been stored for long periods rather than being used regularly. While this reduces wear on the engine, drivetrain, and tyres, it often introduces risks related to age-related decay of rubber components and fluid degradation rather than mileage. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should shift their physical inspection toward issues associated with low-mileage storage. Inspection should focus on cracking or hardening of rubber hoses and brake lines, which perish over time regardless of distance. The buyer must also check the fork seals for leaks and inspect the tyres for flat spotting or deep rot caused by the bike sitting stationary. Because the MOT does not assess the state of the engine or the quality of the fuel, verifying the service history is essential to ensure the internal components have not suffered during the long intervals of inactivity.
