2005 Yamaha FZX750 0.7L Petrol · M362 TNT

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, passing its most recent inspection on 3 June 2026 at 6,397 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history indicates intermittent reactive maintenance rather than a rigorous schedule. While the bike failed the June 2025 test due to high headlamp aim, the subsequent pass and the minor advisory for several components suggest that issues are currently limited to surface wear rather than systemic mechanical failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 21-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 305 miles per year. The data shows significant gaps between tests, such as the 903-mile interval between January 2023 and June 2024, and the 466-mile gap over the last year. While this low usage likely preserves mechanical tolerances on the engine and drivetrain, it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components, seals, and fluid chemistry due to the vehicle potentially sitting stationary for extended periods. A prospective buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system, as the 2026 test flagged the rear brake disc as worn, pitted, or scored. Such surface corrosion is common on low-mileage bikes that remain unused, but it can lead to poor braking performance and accelerated pad wear. The 2024 advisory regarding the front tyre being near the legal limit indicates that consumables are only replaced when they reach the point of failure. Physical inspection should also focus on cracking in tyre sidewalls and perished fork seals, which are typical failure points for motorcycles of this age regardless of low mileage.
