2013 Yamaha XT 1200 Z Super Tenere 1.2L Petrol · FH13 XLP

The Yamaha XT 1200 Z Super Tenere presents a stable roadworthiness status with no recorded defects across its recent test history. The most recent examination on 28 August 2025 at 14,208 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, continuing an unbroken sequence of fault-free results since at least 2021. The maintenance trend is steady and shows no worsening or emerging mechanical concerns. Annual mileage remains exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old machine. The record shows 9,525 miles in September 2021, rising to 12,017 by September 2022, then 12,223 in September 2023, 12,647 in September 2024, and 14,208 in August 2025. That equates to roughly 1,093 miles per year, with the largest single-year gain of about 2,492 miles occurring between 2021 and 2022. The clean test sheets across all five entries indicate the previous keeper kept the bike lightly used and likely stored for long periods rather than neglected. A buyer should still inspect the machine in person despite the clean record. Low use and standing time raise the risk of perished suspension bushes, corroded brake calipers, and degraded fork seals that a short annual test may not expose. Check the exhaust system and chassis for surface corrosion, particularly around welded joints and the centre stand mounts. Examine tyre sidewalls for cracking from age rather than wear, and verify brake disc thickness and pad condition. The absence of advisories does not confirm component life, only that the tester found nothing failing at the time. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible given the bike's minimal annual use.
