2003 Yamaha XJ600 0.6L Petrol · WV52 DHO

The vehicle is currently in a stable roadworthy condition. The most recent MOT on 7 April 2025 at 39,951 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2021, suggesting a well-maintained machine that meets the required safety and emissions standards. The mileage is notably low for a 23 year old motorcycle, averaging roughly 1,737 miles per year. The record shows a steady but light usage pattern, increasing from 33,644 miles in November 2021 to 39,951 miles by April 2025. A slight anomaly appears in April 2024, where the bike failed on 24 April and passed six days later at 37,593 miles. Because the record lists no specific defects for either the failure or the subsequent pass, this likely indicates a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical fault. Despite the clean MOT history, the low annual mileage suggests the bike may have spent significant time stationary. A buyer should physically inspect the fuel system for varnish or gumming and check the health of the tyres for flat spots or age-related cracking, even if the tread depth is legal. The absence of recorded advisories is positive, but the age of the vehicle makes a manual check for structural corrosion on the frame and swingarm essential. Priority should be given to checking the condition of the brake fluid and oil, as these degrade over time regardless of mileage. The lack of flagged issues with suspension bushes or brake discs in the DVSA records is encouraging, but the low usage pattern means seals and gaskets should be inspected for dryness or leaks caused by inactivity.
