1995 YAMAHA FZR4000.4L Petrol

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status based on its consistent history of clean passes. The most recent MOT test conducted on 19 June 2023 at 31,692 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating the motorcycle was in a condition that met minimum standards. Given the current date of June 2026, the vehicle is now overdue for its annual inspection. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 31-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,022 miles per year. There is a significant nine-year gap between the June 2014 test at 28,096 miles and the June 2023 test at 31,692 miles, during which only 3,596 miles were covered. This suggests the bike has been stored for long periods or used only sparingly for short trips, which often leads to the degradation of rubber and fluid components rather than mechanical wear and tear from use. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of components affected by age and stationary storage rather than mileage. The low usage history increases the risk of perished fuel lines, degraded fork seals leaking oil, and seized brake calipers due to lack of movement. Inspect the structural integrity of the frame for hidden corrosion, as the MOT records do not detail surface rust levels that develop over three decades. Check the tyres for age cracking in the sidewalls, as tread depth is irrelevant if the rubber compound has become brittle.
