2002 Yamaha FJR1300 1.3L Petrol · FG02 EGJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, maintaining a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in March 2026 at 43,880 miles resulted in no recorded defects, mirroring the results of the previous four annual inspections. This trend suggests that the primary mechanical and safety components have been maintained to a passing standard without the recurring structural failures often seen in motorcycles of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,828 miles per year. Data shows a period of significant inactivity between February 2022 and April 2023, where the vehicle covered only 25 miles in thirteen months. However, usage increased more recently, with the last two test intervals covering nearly 2,000 miles since the March 2026 test. While the low total mileage indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine, the intermittent use often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluids rather than mechanical fatigue. Because the MOT record shows no mechanical failures, a buyer must focus on physical signs related to low-mileage storage. Inspect the fuel lines, brake hoses, and fork seals for cracking or perished rubber, which occurs when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods. Check for corrosion on the frame and swingarm, as the MOT does not flag surface rust unless it becomes structural. Given the low mileage, verify the brake discs are not heavily pitted and that the tyres have not developed flat spots despite having sufficient tread depth.
