YAMAHA FJ12001988 · 1.2L PETROL

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile due to a significant lack of testing data over the last nine years. While the last recorded test in July 2017 at 67,948 miles showed a pass following a failure just one week prior, the absence of any MOT records until the present date means the current mechanical and structural integrity of the motorcycle is unverified. The maintenance trend is effectively stalled, leaving no evidence to determine if the vehicle has been maintained or allowed to deteriorate. The mileage pattern is inconsistent and suggests long periods of inactivity. The bike recorded 63,000 miles in March 2013 and 76,321 miles in August 2016, showing a burst of over 13,000 miles in three years. However, the 2017 test shows a drop to 67,948 miles, indicating either an odometer error or a clerical entry mistake. Such low annual mileage for a 38-year-old machine often leads to the degradation of rubber seals, seized components, and corrosion in fuel systems rather than mechanical wear from high mileage. A buyer must conduct a rigorous physical inspection of the components flagged in the 2017 records. The front wheel bearings were noted as rough, and the drive chain was already worn, issues that likely require immediate replacement. Given the nine-year gap in testing, pay close attention to seized brake calipers, perished tyres, and degraded hoses. Because the bike has not seen a professional inspection in nearly a, the structural integrity of the frame and the state of deep corrosion must be checked thoroughly before any road use is considered.
