2013 Yamaha XJ 6 S Diversion 0.6L Petrol · CU13 SOJ

The most recent MOT test on 28 February 2023 recorded zero defects, confirming the motorcycle met structural and mechanical roadworthiness standards at 2,123 miles. The maintenance trend remains stable, with consecutive passes in 2022 and 2023 indicating no escalating mechanical failures. A clean bill of health across both recent assessments suggests the core components remain sound. The recorded mileage of 2,123 miles across a thirteen-year lifespan equates to roughly 163 miles annually, classifying this as exceptionally low usage. Between the February 2022 test at 2,094 miles and the February 2023 test at 2,123 miles, the machine accumulated just 29 miles. Such minimal annual mileage raises distinct concerns regarding long-term standing rather than active wear. Prolonged inactivity often degrades consumables like rubber suspension bushes, brake calipers, and tyres through perishing, rather than through friction and fatigue. Despite the clean MOT record, the sparse usage pattern demands a thorough physical inspection of components susceptible to dormancy. A buyer should closely examine the brake discs for surface corrosion and verify that the calipers are not binding, a common issue when a machine sits unused. Tyre sidewalls require checking for age-related cracking and date codes, as rubber degrades irrespective of tread depth. The suspension seals and chain lubrication must also be scrutinised, as a lack of regular operation can lead to dried grease and compromised seals, masking underlying mechanical integrity issues that a standard MOT does not always capture.
