2008 Yamaha FJR 1300 AS 1.3L Petrol · SK08 AEZ

This vehicle is in a stable state of roadworthiness with a consistent record of passing its MOT tests. The most recent inspection on 9 April 2026 at 22,927 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a pattern of five consecutive passes without a single advisory or failure, suggesting the motorcycle has been maintained to a high standard. The mileage is exceptionally low for an 18 year old machine, averaging roughly 1,274 miles per year. The data shows very little usage over the last five years. Between the October 2021 test at 22,831 miles and the April 2026 test at 22,927 miles, the odometer increased by only 96 miles. This indicates the bike has spent significant periods standing still rather than being used for regular commuting or touring. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade due to inactivity rather than wear. While the MOT record is clean, long periods of standing can lead to perished tyre compounds, seized brake calipers, and degraded fork seals. Check for any signs of corrosion on the chassis and wheels, as low-use vehicles often suffer from moisture buildup if stored in damp environments. Verify the condition of the battery and fuel system. Fuel can varnish in the tank and lines when a vehicle sits for years, potentially clogging injectors. Ensure the tyres are within their legal age limit regardless of the tread depth, as rubber hardens over time and loses grip. The lack of MOT advisories is positive, but the extreme lack of mileage necessitates a thorough check of all rubber seals and fluid levels.
