2012 Yamaha FZ8 0.8L Petrol · DJ04 YAM

The vehicle presents a flawless roadworthiness profile, maintaining a consistent clean MOT history across the last five annual inspections. The most recent test in April 2026 at 10,247 miles yielded no recorded defects or adviseories, mirroring the results of all previous tests. This stability suggests the motorcycle has been maintained to a high standard and has not suffered from recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation during operation. The" pattern is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old machine, averaging approximately 732 miles per year. Data shows a steady but slow progression from 6,834 miles in February 2022 to 10,247 miles in April 2026, indicating the bike is likely used sparingly or kept seasonally. While the low mileage reduces mechanical wear and tear on the engine and drivetrain, the intervals between tests suggest the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, which can sometimes lead to different types of degradation than high mileage-related wear. Given the low-mileage history, a buyer must prioritize checking for components that degrade through age rather than distance. Inspect the tyres for flat spotting or cracking in the sidewalls, as old rubber often becomes brittle despite having significant tread depth. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting from sitting and verify the fork seals for any signs of weeping that can occur when seals dry out from inactivity. The drive chain should also be examined for rust or seized links, as low-use vehicles are prone to surface oxidation if not regularly lubricated.
