2003 Yamaha BT1100 1.1L Petrol · EU03 RGX

The vehicle is currently without a valid MOT certificate, as the last recorded test expired on 21 March 2024. The most recent entry from 21 March 2023 at 38,009 miles shows a clean pass with no defects or advisories. While the technical status at that date was stable, the three-year gap since that test means the current roadworthiness is unknown. The recorded mileage of 38,009 miles is exceptionally low for a 2003 model, averaging roughly 1,653 miles per year. There has been no mileage increase recorded between the 2023 test and the current date of July 2026. This suggests the motorcycle has likely been stationary for several years, which often introduces mechanical issues unrelated to wear and tear. A buyer must prioritise an inspection of the fuel system and braking components. Long periods of inactivity frequently lead to gummed carburettors, perished fuel lines, and binding brake calipers. The lack of use can also cause brake discs to develop surface corrosion and tyres to flat-spot or crack despite having legal tread depth. Check the condition of the battery and the integrity of the fork seals, as seals often shrink and leak when a bike sits idle. Given the age and the recent lack of movement, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the frame and swingarm is essential to ensure the vehicle has been stored in a dry environment.
