1991 Yamaha FJ1200 1.2L Petrol · J738 LMW

The Yamaha FJ1200 passed its most recent MOT on 1 March 2025 at 40,266 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a currently stable roadworthiness status and a clean maintenance trend at the latest official test. This single clean pass gives no evidence of worsening faults or recurring advisory patterns across the supplied history. The recorded mileage of 40,266 at the March 2025 test equates to roughly 1,150 miles per year over the machine's 35-year life, confirming very light use for its age. The DVSA record shows only this one entry, so no rapid accumulation or notable gaps between tests can be assessed from the data provided. Such low annual coverage often points to long standing periods rather than daily riding. A buyer should still inspect the FJ1200 in person for age-related issues the MOT may not detail. Standing time commonly degrades suspension bushes, fork seals, and tyre sidewalls even when the tester logs no fault. Check brake calipers for binding after storage and confirm the exhaust emissions remain within limits on a cold start. Structural integrity around the frame and mounting points needs a close look for corrosion, given the 1991 build date. The clean 2025 pass is reassuring, but a 35-year-old low-mileage machine rewards a hands-on check of consumables and mechanical wear before purchase.
