2012 Yamaha XJ6N 0.6L Petrol · AJ12 OCD

The Yamaha XJ6N presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 12 May 2025 at 69,793 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in March 2024 at 68,728 miles and October 2021 at 55,565 miles also passed cleanly, indicating no worsening mechanical condition across the available record. The mileage pattern shows light use for a 2012 machine. From the October 2021 test at 55,565 miles to September 2022 at 66,810 miles the bike covered roughly 11,245 miles in under a year, then only 2,983 miles by March 2024 and a further 1,065 miles to May 2025. A notable gap exists between the October 2021 and September 2022 entries, with no test logged for 2023. The overall average of about 4,985 miles per year suggests prolonged standing periods, which on a motorcycle raises risk of degraded tyres, seized calipers, and corrosion rather than high-mileage drivetrain wear. On 22 September 2022 the tester issued a fail at 66,810 miles yet recorded no defects, with a pass on the same date at identical mileage. This administrative anomaly implies a documentation or process error at the testing station rather than a genuine mechanical fault. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity appear anywhere in the history. A buyer should still inspect the XJ6N in person for standing-related issues the MOT will not capture. Check fork seals, coolant hoses, and tyre sidewall cracking from low-use storage. Confirm brake caliper freedom and disc condition despite the clean record. Verify the VIN and test certificate against the unexplained September 2022 fail entry before purchase.
