2001 Yamaha FJR1300 1.3L Petrol · CU51 BSV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent test on January 9 2023, where it passed with no recorded defects. This follows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes in two consecutive years, specifically in January 2022 and January 2023. The lack of advisories on the latest record indicates that the specific issues identified in previous years were rectified, though the history does not provide a clear trend of ongoing mechanical degradation or structural deterioration. The recorded mileage of 70,768 miles over a 25-year span averages to approximately 2,831 miles per year. This low rate of annual usage suggests the motorcycle has likely spent significant periods stationary or used only for short trips. While low mileage typically reduces wear on internal engine components and drivetrain assemblies, it increases the risk of perished rubber components, dried out seals, and fluid degradation over time. The data shows no rapid accumulation of mileage between the 2022 and 2023 testing intervals. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of components susceptible to age-related failure despite the low mileage. Focus should be placed on checking for perished fork seals, brake hoses, and fuel seals, which often crack when a vehicle sits unused. The structural integrity of the frame and swingarm should be examined for corrosion, as older motorcycles are vulnerable to environmental moisture. Since the last MOT was conducted over three years ago, the current state of the tyres, brake pads, and suspension bushings remains unverified and requires a fresh on-site assessment. Buying score: 58 Risk level: Medium.
