2013 Yamaha YZF 0.1L Petrol · FD13 BCO

The Yamaha YZF presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 6 March 2026 at 18,385 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable and free of recorded defects across the recent test cycle. The latest pass came only days after a failure on 26 February 2026 at 18,382 miles where the tester logged no defects, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the machine passed without advisories on 4 June 2024 at 16,110 miles and on 30 July 2022 at 16,105 miles, the latter same-day failure also showing no defects recorded. At roughly 13 years old the bike shows 18,385 miles, an average of about 1,414 miles per year, confirming exceptionally light use. The record reveals a two-year gap between the July 2022 and June 2024 tests with only five miles added, then a modest 2,275 miles over the following twenty months to the 2026 pass. Such low, sporadic accumulation implies long standing periods rather than routine riding, though the sparse, clean history gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural care. A buyer should still inspect the machine in person for issues that MOT entries may not capture on a lightly used motorcycle. Standing time risks degraded tyres, hardened suspension bushes, and surface corrosion on frame or exhaust components despite the absence of advisories. The same-day fail-and-pass pairs in February and July 2022 warrant a check of the V5 and test documentation to confirm no hidden rectification work. Verify brake disc condition, caliper freedom, and chain and sprocket wear given the intermittent use pattern. The clean record is reassuring, but low mileage alone does not certify mechanical freshness on a 2013 machine.
