2008 Yamaha XJR1300 1.3L Petrol · KS08 NJK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last several years. The most recent MOT conducted in March 2022 at 114,132 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the motorcycle was in good mechanical and structural condition at that time. This follows a period of clean testing, suggesting the previous owners maintained the bike to a high standard without addressing recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the motorcycle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between October 2019 and February 2021, where the bike covered over 24,000 miles in just sixteen months. This represents a period of high usage compared to the historical average, yet the subsequent pass in 2022 suggests that the drivetrain and chassis handled this load without significant failure. Since the last recorded test was over four years ago as of June 2026, the vehicle is currently overdue and requires an immediate fresh inspection to verify the current state of its components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the current state of components that degrade over time regardless of mileage. Given the age of the 2008 model, check for deep corrosion on the frame and swingarm, especially where rubber seals may have perished. The history shows no previous issues with brakes or suspension, but the long interval since the last test means brake fluid degradation or fork seals could leak if the bike has sat stationary since 2022. Verify the condition of the tyres and chain, as these consumables are prone to age-related dry rot and mechanical wear.
