2002 Yamaha FZS1000 1.0L Petrol · FN02 WRW

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in November 2025 at 34,856 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety components currently meet minimum regulatory standards. This trend suggests a consistent level of basic maintenance by previous owners, as no recurring failures or minor advisories have appeared in the recorded history during this period. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,452 miles per year. Between October 2021 and November 2025, the vehicle covered only 3,546 miles, showing very infrequent use. A notable gap of only 266 miles between the 2023 and October 2024 tests indicates the bike likely sits for long periods between rides. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, it often increases the risk of age-related rubber degradation and fluid breakdown that MOT tests cannot fully detect. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of components susceptible to long-term storage and low-use operation. Check for perished fuel lines, cracked brake hoses, and perished fork seals that suffer from age rather than mileage. Inspect the frame for structural corrosion and check the tyres for flat spotting or hardening, as rubber loses elasticity regardless of tread depth. Given the low usage, verify the age of the tyres and the condition of the brake fluid to ensure hydraulic performance remains sufficient.
