2008 Yamaha FZS1000 1.0L Petrol · AE08 AZA

The 2008 Yamaha FZS1000 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 14 June 2025 at 28,164 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Prior examinations on 2 April 2024 at 27,724 miles, 3 March 2023 at 26,956 miles, and 25 February 2022 at 26,077 miles each returned passes with no advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, recurring defects, or unresolved mechanical risks across the four-year record. Annual mileage averages roughly 1,565 miles against an eighteen-year service life, marking this machine as low-use for its age. The record logs only 1,087 miles between the 2022 and 2025 tests, with the largest single-year movement of 768 miles occurring before the 2024 examination. No gaps exceed thirteen months between tests, and the clean pass sheet at every interval suggests the previous keeper maintained statutory testing discipline without deferred entries. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension linkage, fork seals, and brake caliper condition, as a motorcycle left standing for long periods can develop perished rubber components and sticky pistons not visible in a pass-only MOT. The absence of corrosion or structural advisories in the official record is favourable, yet standing storage promotes hidden oxidation inside frame seams and exhaust internals that a road test would expose. Given the sparse but unbroken clean history, the FZS1000 implies a careful, low-mileage ownership pattern rather than neglected use. Verify in person that tyre sidewalls and brake hoses show no age cracking, and confirm clutch and chain wear match the recorded mileage before purchase.
