Our Verdict
Proceed with caution but generally looks
When viewing this specific 600cc Yamaha, your primary focus should be on the mechanical service history, as the MOT data only provides a snapshot of its roadworthiness. Since the last recorded MOT was in 2022, ensure you request proof of any maintenance or inspections carried out between then and now to bridge the data gap.
Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and the condition of the brake components. Because the 2022 MOT noted rear brake pads were close to the minimum limit, check if these were replaced shortly after the test. Additionally, inspect the registration plate to see if it has been replaced, as the previous one was noted as deteriorated.
As a 599cc petrol motorcycle, running costs are generally moderate. Fuel economy will depend heavily on riding style, but this engine capacity typically offers a good balance between performance and efficiency. Insurance groups for this class of bike vary, so obtain a quote using the LD63ORC registration before committing.
Maintenance costs for a Yamaha of this era are usually predictable, though you should budget for periodic chain maintenance, tyre replacements, and fluid changes. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and basic servicing, sit in a mid-range bracket for a commuter-sized motorcycle.
Focus your physical inspection on the braking system. The 2022 MOT history specifically highlighted rear brake pads being near the minimum limit; verify that the current pad thickness is sufficient and that the rear calipers show no signs of leaks.
Check the condition of the rear registration plate to see if the 'deteriorated' issue noted in the MOT has been rectified. Furthermore, as this is a 2013 model, inspect the drive chain, sprockets, and various rubber hoses for signs of age-related perishing or cracking, which are common as bikes reach this mileage.
This 2013 Yamaha XJ, finished in grey, has covered 43,983 miles since its first registration in November 2013. The MOT history is minimal, with the most recent recorded test in June 2022 showing a pass alongside advisories for rear brake pad wear and a deteriorated registration plate. Given the age and mileage, it represents a typical mid-life example of this 599cc petrol machine.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Yamaha XJ model to provide a statistical trend.
