1991 Yamaha FJ1200 1.2L Petrol · J468 KFV

The Yamaha FJ1200 presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile, with the most recent DVSA test on 14 June 2024 at 53,563 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Prior tests on 17 June 2023 at 48,403 miles and 2 April 2022 at 44,374 miles also passed with no advisories. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults, recurring defects, or escalating wear across the three-year documented span. Recorded mileage sits at 53,563 against a 1991 build, an average of roughly 1,530 miles per year. The bike added 5,160 miles between April 2022 and June 2023, then 5,160 miles again to June 2024, a consistent low-use pattern with no gaps exceeding fourteen months. Sparse testing history beyond 2022 limits long-term visibility, but the clean sheets suggest the keeper addressed routine upkeep and stored the machine lightly. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity and hidden corrosion on the frame, swingarm, and exhaust mounting points, as a 35-year-old machine can develop rust unseen during a pass test. Suspension bushes, fork seals, and rear shock condition warrant hands-on checks given the low annual mileage and likely standing periods. Brake discs, calipers, and flexible hoses need physical examination for pitting or age hardening despite no binding or fade flagged. Tyres and consumables may be older than the dates imply; verify manufacture codes before relying on them.
