2013 Yamaha FZ8 0.8L Petrol · DN62 OKS

The most recent MOT test on 2025-07-22 at 11,690 miles resulted in a clean pass with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend is entirely stable, demonstrating no recurring mechanical or structural faults across the documented history. This consistent record indicates a motorcycle that has remained fundamentally sound and roadworthy, with no emerging patterns of deterioration or unresolved advisories. At thirteen years old, the recorded mileage of 11,690 miles equates to an annual average of roughly 899 miles, confirming exceptionally light use. The mileage progression is steady and incremental: 9,246 miles in June 2022, 9,286 miles in June 2023, 9,679 miles in June 2024, and 11,690 miles in July 2025. The slight uptick between 2024 and 2025 suggests a marginal increase in recent usage, but the overall accumulation remains remarkably low for a machine of this age. Such low annual mileage typically spares high-wear drivetrain components but raises questions about the condition of perishable parts degraded by time rather than use. Despite the flawless record, the 2023 anomaly where the machine failed and passed on the same day at 9,286 miles warrants a cursory check of the lighting and signaling systems, though the subsequent clean passes suggest any issue was rectified. Buyers should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age-related deterioration rather than wear. Tyre sidewall cracking and perished suspension seals are common on motorcycles standing for extended periods. Inspect the brake calipers for seized pistons and the brake discs for surface corrosion, as infrequent use often causes glazing and pitting rather than wear. Check the exhaust system for corrosion and verify the throttle bodies synchronize smoothly, as stale fuel can cause running issues on low-mileage machines.
