2002 Yamaha XJR1300 1.3L Petrol · FD02 AAO

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 2 May 2026 at 32,956 miles resulted in a pass, noting minor wear on the rear drive chain and sprocket. These components were flagged as not excessively worn, indicating that while the drivetrain is showing signs of age, it has not yet reached a failure point or safety threshold. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,373 miles per year. Between November 2021 and May 2026, the bike covered only 699 miles, moving from 32,257 to 32,956 miles. This extremely low usage suggests the vehicle has been stored for long periods, which often presents different risks such as age-related degradation rather than mileage-based wear. The consistency of clean passes across these intervals points to a history of basic upkeep. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by long-term standing and low usage. While the MOT record shows no structural defects, rubber elements such as fuel lines, fork seals, and tyres should be checked for dry rot or cracking despite remaining tread depth. The rear drive chain and sprocket noted in the 2026 test require a close look for rust and to ensure the chain is not stretching excessively. Given the low mileage, the brake calipers should also be inspected for seized pistons or fluid ingress, which are common in vehicles that remain stationary for extended periods.
