2014 Yamaha XJR1300 1.3L Petrol · AV64 AAJ

The 2014 Yamaha XJR1300 has maintained a consistently clean MOT history across all five tests, with no defects or advisories recorded since its last inspection on 2025-09-02 at 27,879 miles. This suggests the vehicle has passed all mandatory DVSA checks for brakes, steering, suspension, lights, emissions, and structural integrity without fail. The most recent test confirms the motorcycle remains roadworthy under current UK standards, though the absence of any advisories does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in components like suspension bushes, chain tensioning systems, or throttle response—where minor failures often go unnoticed without a hands-on inspection. The recorded mileage of 27,879 miles over approximately 12 years equates to an average of around 2,323 miles annually, which is unusually low for a motorcycle of this age. The gaps between tests reveal no rapid mileage accumulation; instead, the vehicle appears to have spent extended periods stationary, particularly between the 2021 (10,555 miles) and 2022 (14,749 miles) tests, where just 4,194 miles were covered in a year. This pattern could indicate limited use, storage, or even potential neglect of routine maintenance such as chain lubrication, tyre pressure checks, or fuel system preservation. Long-term storage without proper care can accelerate wear in rubber seals, battery health, and fuel stability. Given the lack of MOT advisories, the buyer’s primary focus should be on suspension integrity , including fork seals, rear shock damping, and bushings for excessive play or fluid leaks. The brake system —particularly rear calipers and discs—should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as repeated MOT passes do not guarantee consistent braking performance over time. Tyres , despite no recorded defects, warrant scrutiny for uneven tread wear, which could signal alignment issues or prolonged under/over-inflation. Additionally, inspect the chain and sprocket for stretch, corrosion, or improper tension, as low mileage does not exempt these components from wear. Finally, examine the exhaust system for cracks or leaks, especially around joints, and verify the electrical system for corrosion in connectors or failing switches, as these are common silent failures in stored motorcycles.
