2009 Yamaha FZ1S 1.0L Petrol · SK58 AOY

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent record of passes across the last five tests. The most recent inspection in April 2025 at 23,155 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owner has proactively addressed any issues before testing. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation in the documented DVSA history. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,362 miles per year. Between July 2020 and April 2025, the vehicle covered 6,291 miles, showing a pattern of infrequent use. The gap between the 2023 and 2025 tests suggests the bike may sit stationary for long periods or used only seasonally. While the low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, such usage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluids rather than mechanical wear and tear. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by long periods of storage rather than mileage. Check for cracking or perished rubber on fork seals, brake lines, and tyres, as low-use vehicles often suffer from dry rot. Inspect the brake calipers for seized pistons to ensure they move freely and examine the drive chain for surface rust or stretching. Additionally, verify the fuel system for signs of varnish to ensure that the low mileage has not resulted in internal contamination from aged fuel.
