2008 Yamaha FZ1 1.0L Petrol · FL58 AVW

The 2008 Yamaha FZ1 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 April 2026 at 19,949 miles recorded a pass with no defects, continuing an unbroken run of clean MOT results across the available history. The recorded mileage shows very light use for an eighteen-year-old machine. The June 2021 test at 15,970 miles and the June 2022 test at 17,630 miles confirm roughly 1,660 miles covered in that year. A near three-year gap then follows before the May 2025 test at 17,820 miles, adding only 190 miles. By April 2026 the odometer read 19,949 miles, giving an average of about 1,108 miles per year. The sparse, defect-free record offers no evidence of neglect or rapid wear, though the long dormant period between 2022 and 2025 suggests the bike stood unused for extended stretches. A buyer should still inspect for age-related issues that MOT tests on two-wheelers may not capture in depth. Standing storage promotes tyre perishing, degraded fork seals, and stale brake fluid even when the tester logs no fault. The low annual mileage means suspension bushes, wheel bearings, and brake calipers have seen little cyclic load, yet corrosion on the frame and exhaust can advance regardless of distance travelled. Given the clean advisory history, no recurring mechanical fault pattern exists to warn against. Prospective owners should commission a pre-purchase check of the chain and sprockets, coolant condition, and structural integrity beneath the bodywork before committing to purchase.
