Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough physical inspection. While the most recent MOT was a pass, the record shows a failure at the same mileage in June 2025, suggesting recent repairs were necessary.
When viewing this black FZ1, your priority should be to understand why it failed its MOT in June 2025. Although the failure details are not specified in the digital record, you should ask the seller for documentation or receipts relating to the work carried out to rectify that failure.
Beyond the MOT, check the condition of the tyres, chain, and sprockets, as these are high-wear items on a 1000cc machine. Ensure the brake discs show minimal scoring and that the fluid has been changed according to the manufacturer's schedule, as MOT tests do not cover fluid freshness.
As a 1000cc performance motorcycle, running costs will be higher than a standard commuter bike. Fuel economy will depend heavily on riding style, but expect typical superbike-class consumption.
Insurance groups for 1000cc motorcycles are generally higher, so obtain a quote using the GV63HCN registration before committing. Maintenance costs for a Yamaha of this capacity involve periodic valve clearances and more expensive tyre replacements compared to smaller capacity models.
Given the MOT failure recorded at 11,538 miles in June 2025, inspect the mechanical components that commonly cause failures, such as lighting, indicators, brake efficiency, or tyre tread depth.
Check the drive chain for proper tension and lubrication, and inspect the fork seals for any signs of oil leakage. Because this is a 2013 model, also check for any signs of corrosion on exposed metal parts or the exhaust system, which can occur depending on how the vehicle was stored.
This 2013 Yamaha FZ1 is a 1000cc petrol motorcycle that has covered 11,538 miles since its first registration in November 2013. The MOT history shows a pass in June 2025, though this was preceded by a failure at the same mileage reading. The mileage appears relatively low for a vehicle of this age, but the recent failure requires investigation.
There is currently no aggregate MOT data available to establish a specific reliability pattern for the Yamaha FZ1.
