2002 Yamaha XJR1300 1.3L Petrol · YP52 CCN

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean record across the most recent annual inspections. The latest test conducted in March 2026 at 38,312 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This consistency suggests that the current owner maintains a proactive approach to mechanical upkeep, avoiding the common mechanical failures often seen in older motorcycles of this displacement. The mileage data reveals a significant shift in usage patterns between 2022 and 2023. The bike recorded 117,927 miles in the March 2022 test, but dropped to just 19,186 miles by April 2023. This discrepancy suggests either an odometer error or, more likely, an engine replacement. Since 2023, the vehicle has covered very low distances, averaging approximately 1,600 miles per year. While this low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it increases the risk of component degradation in rubber seals and fluids due to long periods of inactivity. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection must focus on age-related degradation associated with low-mileage storage. A buyer should check for perished brake lines, leaking fork seals, and tyre cracking that may not manifest during a stationary test. The sudden drop in mileage in 2022 warrants a close look at the engine block numbers to verify the replacement was legitimate. Given the age of the machine, inspecting the frame for structural corrosion at pivot points is essential to ensure that the low mileage has not masked long-term environmental exposure.
