1988 YAMAHA FZ750 GENESIS0.7L PETROL

The vehicle presents a questionable roadworthiness profile because the last recorded MOT test dates back nearly twenty years ago. The most recent entry from February 2007 at 39,974 miles showed a pass following a minor failure just two days prior. While the bike eventually met the standard, the lack of any testing data between 2007 and 2026 means there is no evidence of its structural integrity, mechanical function, or safety compliance over the last two decades. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 38-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,052 miles per year. Between the February 2006 test at 38,719 miles and the February 2007 test at 39,974 miles, the vehicle covered only 255 miles. This suggests the bike spent long periods in storage rather than undergoing regular use. Low mileage on older motorcycles often leads to the degradation of rubber seals, perished fuel lines, and internal corrosion that the odometer alone does not reveal. A buyer must conduct a rigorous physical inspection focused on the recurring issues identified in the 2007 record. The tester flagged binding front brake calipers and slightly worn rear discs, issues that require immediate attention to check for hydraulic failure or seized pistons. The exhaust leak noted in 2007 indicates a thinning manifold or blown gasket that has likely worsened over time. Given the massive gap in records, the inspection must also prioritise checking for structural rust on the frame, perished tyres, and the condition of the fluid-carrying suspension components which suffer through prolonged inactivity.
