2005 Yamaha XJR1300 1.3L Petrol · AE05 HRG

The Yamaha XJR1300 passed its most recent MOT on 31 January 2026 at 10,462 miles with no defects recorded, placing its current roadworthiness status as sound on paper. The single clean test indicates a stable maintenance trend with no escalating faults or recurring advisories across the supplied history. At roughly 21 years old, the machine shows just 10,462 recorded miles, an average of about 498 miles per year. This low accumulation suggests extended periods of storage or light recreational use rather than daily commuting. The DVSA record contains only the one entry, so no rapid mileage jumps or notable test gaps can be quantified beyond the absence of earlier data. A buyer should still inspect the bike in person for age-related issues the MOT may not capture on a pass. Standing time invites perished rubber, seized calipers, and hardened suspension bushes despite the clean sheet. Check brake discs for corrosion pitting, tyre sidewall cracking, and the exhaust for internal rot. Given the 2005 build and low use, examine the frame and swinging arm for structural rust at weld points and pivot areas. Confirm the chain and sprockets show no tight spots from inactivity. The record implies careful storage, but physical verification remains essential before purchase.
