2003 Yamaha FZS1000 1.0L Petrol · KX03 KKS

The most recent MOT on 30 June 2026 at 37,012 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the bike passed every test from July 2025 back to March 2022, again without any recorded faults. The only faults appearing in the history are a headlamp aim failure in May 2016 and a tyre tread failure in April 2015, with an advisory on low rear tyre tread in April 2013. Since those early issues the record shows a stable trend of no defects, indicating the mechanical condition has been maintained at a satisfactory level. The recorded mileage of 37,012 miles over roughly 23 years gives an average of about 1,600 miles per year, which is low for a machine of this age. Between March 2022 and March 2023 the odometer rose from 28,477 to 32,256 miles, a rise of nearly 3,800 miles in twelve months, well above the long‑term average. However, the test on 13 July 2024 shows the mileage unchanged at 32,286 miles, suggesting the bike may have been stored or the odometer not updated during that period. After that point the mileage climbs steadily again, reaching 34,628 miles by July 2025 and 37,012 miles by June 2026. A prospective buyer should pay particular attention to the headlamp alignment and tyre condition, as these are the only items that have previously caused a test failure. Check that the nearside headlamp is set to the correct angle and that both front and rear tyres meet the legal minimum tread depth of 1.0 mm, with even wear across the surface. Although the MOT history shows no recent problems with suspension, brakes or frame, a visual inspection for corrosion, worn bushes or leaking seals is still advisable given the bike’s age and periods of low use. Finally, verify that the service book matches the recorded mileage to rule out any odometer discrepancy.
