1994 Yamaha XJ600 0.6L Petrol · L237 BOD

The 1994 Yamaha XJ600 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 May 2024 at 41,872 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and this clean result follows four prior passes with zero advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical condition across the available record. Mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a 32-year-old machine. The odometer read 40,267 miles at the 6 May 2017 test and reached just 41,872 miles by May 2024, an average of roughly 1,308 miles per year overall. A notable gap exists between the 2018 and 2020 tests, with no recorded MOT in 2019, suggesting the bike stood unused or was exempt during that period. The clean record across all five entries indicates light use rather than neglected high-mileage wear. A buyer should still inspect the machine in person for age-related issues the MOT does not capture. Long standing periods risk degraded suspension bushes, perished rubber components, and internal corrosion within the fuel system or exhaust. The tester recorded no structural integrity concerns, but 32 years of exposure demands a close check of the frame, fork legs, and wheel bearings for hidden rust. Brake discs and calipers warrant physical examination despite no binding or wear advisories in the history. Low annual mileage often allows moisture to settle in the hydraulic lines and cause seizing. Confirm the chain, sprockets, and tyre sidewalls remain crack-free before purchase.
