2008 Yamaha YZF R1 1.0L Petrol · AV08 XYW

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean passes across the last five tests. The most recent inspection conducted in April 2025 at 27,837 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This suggests a stable maintenance trend where the previous owner has proactively addressed mechanical requirements to ensure a successful pass without any recurring structural failures or component degradation appearing on record. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old superbike, averaging approximately 1,546 miles per year. Between July 2023 and April 2025, the bike covered only 99 miles, indicating it is either used sparingly or kept in dry storage for long periods. While this low mileage limits wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between use can mask age-related deterioration of rubber components and fluids. The data shows no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation, which confirms the vehicle has not been subjected to high-intensity commuter use. Given the lack of recorded faults in the MOT history, a physical inspection must focus on components affected by low-mileage storage rather than wear. A buyer should check for cracking in the tyres and perished brake lines, which often degrade when a vehicle sits stationary. Inspect the fork seals for leaks and the swingarm for surface corrosion de-pitting, as the MOT tester does not always flag minor cosmetic rust. The clean record suggests a well-maintained machine, provided the mechanical systems have been serviced according to time intervals despite the low mileage figures.
