1993 YAMAHA FJ12001.2L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the final recorded entry, though the data is now critically outdated. The most recent MOT conducted in November 2013 at 46,892 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating the bike was in a sound mechanical state at that time. However, because there have been no recorded tests for over twelve years, the current roadworthiness of the motorcycle cannot be verified through official channels. The lack of recent data suggests long-term storage or inactivity. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 33-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,400 miles per year. The record shows a significant gap in usage between 2009 and 2013, where the vehicle covered only 9,692 miles over four years. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it also suggests the bike likely sat stationary for extended periods. Such inactivity often leads to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and internal corrosion within fluid systems which are not reflected in the low odometer reading. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on components that previously showed signs of wear or age. The 2011 failure at 38,019 miles highlighted critical lows in tyres and rear brake pads, suggesting that basic consumable maintenance was neglected during that period. The 2012 test noted light misting on both front shock absorber stanchions; these should be checked for active leaks which indicate failing seals due to age. Given the long interval since the last test, a thorough check of the drive chain tension, the condition of the suspension bushes, and the integrity of the fuel system is essential to ensure the bike is safe to ride.
