2010 Yamaha XJ 6 S Diversion 0.6L Petrol · LC60 AEX

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-10-08 at 47,051 miles, resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, the preceding test on 2025-09-16 at 46,837 miles ended in a failure despite no defects being listed. This inconsistency suggests potential procedural or administrative issues, as no mechanical or safety faults were noted in either test. The pattern of alternating passes and fails at similar mileages (e.g., 2024-09-05 tests) raises questions about the reliability of the MOT outcomes, though no specific technical issues were flagged. The vehicle’s roadworthiness appears stable based on the data, but the lack of recent testing (over a year since the last MOT) is a critical concern. The recorded mileage of 47,051 miles over 16 years equates to an average of 2,941 miles annually, which is unusually low. This suggests either minimal usage or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate component degradation through corrosion or fluid stagnation. Notably, the 2023-09-26 test at 41,867 miles was a pass, but the subsequent 2024-09-05 tests—both at 43,175 miles—showed no defects yet included a failure. The absence of recorded issues in all tests complicates interpretation, but the sparse data and repeated fails at similar mileages warrant scrutiny. The vehicle’s maintenance history lacks clear evidence of recurring mechanical faults, though the low mileage may mask wear in components like suspension bushes or brake calipers. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the vehicle’s structural integrity, particularly for rust or corrosion in the chassis and underbody, given the low mileage and potential for inactivity. The braking system, including calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as low usage can lead to seized components. Additionally, the exhaust system and emissions controls require verification, as older vehicles may develop leaks or inefficiencies. The absence of recorded defects in MOTs does not eliminate risks associated with prolonged storage, so a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is essential to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond the MOT records.
