Yamaha Xj 6 F Abs Diversion (2011)
2011 Yamaha Xj 6 F Abs Diversion
CarHunch analysed 174 real MOT records for the 2011 Yamaha Xj 6 F Abs Diversion. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2011 Yamaha XJ6 F ABS Diversion sits just above the UK average with an 81.8% first-time pass rate, but the real concern is that nearly a quarter of these bikes (22.4%) have recorded a dangerous defect at some point—well above acceptable levels for a buyer. This suggests structural or safety issues that go beyond typical wear and tear.
These machines are running relatively light at an average of 17,484 miles for their age, yet they're still averaging 1.09 failures per MOT and 4.1 advisories, indicating persistent mechanical gremlins rather than one-off problems. If you're considering one, get a full pre-purchase inspection focused on brake and suspension integrity, as these are where dangerous defects typically hide on older sportsbikes.
What to check before buying a 2011 Yamaha Xj 6 F Abs Diversion
