2008 YAMAHA FJR1300A1.3L Petrol

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass in April 2026 at 61,826 miles where no defects were recorded. This reflects a positive trend in maintenance discipline compared to previous years where minor faults were frequently flagged. While the history shows recurring issues with consumable items, the three most recent tests indicate that the current owner is addressing mechanical concerns before they escalate into failures. At 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 61,826 miles represents a low annual usage rate of approximately 3,400 miles. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, though a notable gap exists between 2021 and 2023 where the vehicle covered only 1,672 miles. This low-intensity operation typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber parts, seals, and fluid chemistry, which is consistent with the bike's long age. A prospective buyer should conduct a close inspection of the exhaust system, as the tester flagged a noisy rear exhaust in both 2018 and 2024. The recurring history of front tyres worn to the legal limit across multiple years suggests a pattern of reactive-than-only maintenance rather than proactive replacement. Additionally, the 2019 report of oil misting on the rear shock absorber warrants a physical check to ensure the seal has not progressed to a significant leak, despite the negligible damping effect noted at that time.
