2000 Yamaha XJR1300 1.3L Petrol · W317 EUB

The most recent MOT on 3 July 2026 at 32,817 miles recorded a Pass with no defects, indicating the motorcycle remains roadworthy. The absence of repeat failures since the 7 April 2025 test, which noted rear brake binding and a light oil mist on the front shock absorber, suggests a stable maintenance trend. Mileage has risen from 24,610 miles in February 2020 to 32,817 miles in July 2026, an increase of 8,207 miles over six and a half years, averaging roughly 1,250 miles per year. Such low annual mileage for a 2000‑model bike points to light use rather than prolonged storage, and the incremental mileage entries show no sudden spikes. A prospective buyer should verify that the rear brake binding observed in 2025 has been fully resolved, checking for even pedal feel and pad wear. The front shock absorber noted with a light oil mist in 2025 warrants inspection for any leakage or loss of damping. Corrosion on rear suspension springs recorded in 2017 and oil‑cooler pipe corrosion from 2012 merit visual examination for rust penetration. The drive chain wear flagged in 2020 and the exhaust leak noted in 2012 should be assessed for current condition, ensuring chain tension, sprocket wear and exhaust sealing are within acceptable limits.
