2004 Yamaha XJR1300 1.3L Petrol · CU53 LRV

The Yamaha XJR1300 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 27 February 2025 at 14,123 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Prior examinations in June 2024 at 13,056 miles, April 2023 at 12,280 miles, and May 2022 at 11,364 miles each returned passes with no advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, recurring mechanical concerns, or structural corrosion across the four-year record. Annual mileage averages roughly 642 miles against the bike's 2004 manufacture, a low figure for a 22-year-old machine. The odometer moved only 1,067 miles between the May 2022 and February 2025 tests. Such limited use over extended intervals suggests long stationary periods rather than regular riding. The clean MOT sheet gives no evidence of skipped consumable replacement or neglected wear items, though sparse testing frequency means minor issues between tests would go unrecorded. A buyer should still inspect the XJR1300 in person for age-related degradation the MOT cannot capture. Standing time promotes tyre sidewall cracking, flat spots, and hardened suspension bushes despite the passes. Brake calipers may bind from disuse and fluid can absorb moisture, lowering stopping performance. Check the steel exhaust and frame junctions for internal corrosion, as surface rust behind panels escapes the annual test. Confirm the chain, sprockets, and cooling system show no deterioration from infrequent operation before purchase.
