2002 YAMAHA XJR13001.3L PETROL

The vehicle maintains a stable level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent clean pass record over the last five years. The most recent inspection on 1 July 2025 at 12,826 miles returned no defects or advisories. This flawless streak suggests a consistent maintenance regime where the motorcycle has been kept to a high standard without the mechanical degradation or structural failures that typically trigger MOT-related flags. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old machine, averaging approximately 534 miles per year. Between June 2021 and July 2025, the bike covered only 293 miles, moving from 12,533 to 12,826 miles. While this low usage indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests suggest the vehicle spends significant periods stationary. Such patterns often lead to issues with rubber-based components rather than mechanical wear-and-tear. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on components affected by age and stagnant low-mileage storage. Inspect the fuel lines, tyres, and seals for cracking or degradation, as these materials perish regardless of distance traveled. The brake system should be checked for seized calipers or perished fluid due to lack of regular activation. Additionally, examine the frame and swingarm for signs of corrosion, as the MOT record does not account for minor surface rust that can develop over two decades even in a low-use environment.
