2001 Yamaha FZS1000 1.0L Petrol · CX51 ENJ

The 2001 Yamaha FZS1000 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 1 July 2025 at 49,318 miles which recorded no defects. Four consecutive passes from April 2022 through July 2025 show no advisories or mechanical faults raised by testers, indicating the machine has been presented in a consistently sound condition across its recent inspection cycle. The recorded mileage reflects extremely light use for a 25-year-old vehicle. The odometer moved only 467 miles between the 27 April 2022 test at 48,144 miles and the 1 July 2025 test at 49,318 miles, averaging under 160 miles per year across that span. Such low annual accumulation, roughly 1,973 miles per year lifetime, suggests prolonged standing periods rather than regular riding, with no gaps in testing and a clean record free of consumable wear flags. A buyer should still inspect for corrosion on structural frame members and suspension mounting points, as the MOT history shows no advisories but long dormant storage accelerates rust unseen by annual tests. Check the fork seals, swingarm bushes, and brake caliper condition for binding or seizing caused by infrequent use. Verify tyre sidewall age and brake fluid condition, since components degrade on time rather than mileage alone. The absence of recorded defects implies prior owners maintained basic compliance, though the sparse mileage means wear is latent rather than absent. A pre-purchase inspection should prioritise fluid renewal and a static structural check over consumable replacement.
