1991 Yamaha FJ1200ABS 1.2L Petrol · H543 CFB

The Yamaha FJ1200ABS presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent DVSA test on 12 June 2025 at 36,694 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken three-year clean sheet across 2023 to 2025. Annual mileage remains exceptionally low for a 35-year-old machine. The record shows 30,713 miles at the 16 June 2023 test, rising to 34,537 miles on 11 June 2024 and 36,694 miles by June 2025. That equates to roughly 2,000 miles per year across the recorded period, well below typical use and consistent with long-term light running or extended storage. No test gaps or abrupt accumulation appear in the data; the sparse, clean history offers little evidence of neglect but equally reveals nothing about hidden deterioration. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection before purchase. Three consecutive passes with zero advisories mean the tester logged no worn suspension bushes, corroded structural points, or binding calipers at each June examination. Low standing mileage on a 1991 frame invites unseen issues such as hardened fork seals, perished fuel lines, and internal tank rust that MOT checks will not always expose. Given the absent advisories, focus the viewing on brake disc thickness, coil spring condition, and exhaust emissions at cold start. The previous keeper clearly kept the bike to a basic legal standard, yet 34 years of age demands hands-on verification of consumables and structural integrity beyond the test bay.
