2019 Yamaha FJR 1.3L Petrol · KL19 OSV

The most recent MOT test, conducted on 19 June 2025 at 91,217 miles, confirms the vehicle passed without any defects recorded. This represents a stable maintenance trend over the past three annual tests, with no recurring advisories or failings beyond the single rear tyre tread issue noted in June 2022. The absence of repeated faults suggests the vehicle has been kept in a state of basic roadworthiness, though the 2022 rear tyre warning indicates a lapse in tyre rotation or tread monitoring. The steering headbearing advisory from 2022 appears resolved, as no further mention of stiffness or notching has been documented in subsequent tests. The mileage progression reveals a consistent annual average of approximately 13,000 miles, which is elevated for a vehicle of this age. Between June 2022 and June 2025, the recorded mileage increased by 38,492 miles—an average of 12,831 miles per year—without any extended periods of inactivity. This suggests the bike was actively ridden rather than stored, which may accelerate wear on components such as suspension bushes, chain/drivetrain, and brake systems. The lack of gaps in mileage also implies the vehicle was not neglected for prolonged periods, though it does not preclude deferred maintenance. A buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the rear suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, given the 2022 tyre tread advisory may have been linked to uneven wear from suspension misalignment. The steering headbearing, while no longer flagged, warrants verification for persistent stiffness or excessive play, as prolonged neglect could lead to premature bearing failure. Examine the rear brakes for binding calipers or uneven disc wear, as repeated high mileage increases the risk of thermal warping or reduced friction material thickness. Additionally, inspect the chain and sprocket for excessive stretch or wear, as high mileage accelerates drivetrain degradation. Tyre condition should be reassessed, with a focus on the rear tyres to confirm they have been rotated and remain above the legal tread depth.
