2009 Yamaha XJR1300 1.3L Petrol · SDH 423

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 14 May 2022 at 10,816 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories, continuing a trend of clean passes over the previous five years. This consistency suggests the mechanical and structural components were not subject to immediate failure or significant degradation during the recorded testing periods. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 636 miles per year. Between March 2017 and May 2022, the bike covered only 887 miles, moving from 9,929 to 10,816 miles. This low usage indicates the vehicle has likely sat for long periods, which reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine but introduces different technical risks. The four-year gap between the 2022 test and the current date means the vehicle has been operated without an official roadworthiness check for nearly four years. A buyer must prioritize inspecting for issues associated with low-mileage storage. Lack of use often leads to rubber degradation, meaning perished tyres, split hoses, and cracked fuel lines should be checked regardless of the tread depth. The brake system requires scrutiny for seized calipers or corroded discs, which occur when seals remain stationary. Additionally, the frame should be inspected for surface rust, particularly in areas where moisture collects, as stagnant air can accelerate corrosion even if the bike was not driven frequently.
