2016 Yamaha XJR 1.3L Petrol · D13 YAM

The Yamaha XJR presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 21 June 2025 at 8,058 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across the full history from 2022 through 2025, every test resulted in a pass with no advisories or faults flagged, indicating the machine has been consistently presented in a condition acceptable to examiners. The recorded mileage shows exceptionally light use for a 2016 machine. The 2 June 2022 test at 3,366 miles and the 3 November 2022 test at 3,634 miles confirm minimal early running, with accumulation then slowing further: 6,041 miles by 6 October 2023, 7,704 miles by 2 November 2024, and 8,058 miles by June 2025. That averages roughly 806 miles per year. The clean record gives no sign of neglect, though long standing periods implied by such low totals can allow tyre perishing, brake caliper seizing, and fork seal weeping unseen by MOT testers. A buyer should still inspect the bike in person for issues the MOT does not capture. Check the suspension linkages and swingarm bearings for free play, and examine the front forks for oil mist around the seals. The brake calipers may have bound from disuse; confirm the discs run true and the pads release cleanly. Inspect the frame and exhaust for surface corrosion, particularly around welded joints and the centre stand mounts. Verify the tyres for sidewall cracking consistent with age rather than wear. The absence of advisories across five tests is reassuring, but low-mileage machines often hide dormant faults that only surface once regular riding resumes.
