2013 Yamaha FJR1300A 1.3L Petrol · P40 RBL

The vehicle currently stands as roadworthy, but the MOT history reveals a concerning trend of failure that has been present since the first test in November 2025. A failure in September 2022 indicates that the vehicle has not been maintained in the required condition for the past three years, creating a gap in its operational history. This lack of maintenance suggests that basic upkeep was skipped, and the vehicle is likely to fail again in the near future if no corrective action is taken. The mileage pattern is inconsistent with the vehicle's age. While the 2013 model typically requires 1,500–2,000 miles per year, the vehicle has only covered 1,508 miles in the last 13 years. This represents a significant accumulation of wear without corresponding maintenance, suggesting that the vehicle has been driven at an accelerated rate or that the owner has not properly tracked usage. The test on July 5, 2024, at 18,743 miles suggests that the vehicle has not been properly maintained for the full 13-year lifespan, which is a critical indicator of potential future failures. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to assess the condition of the suspension, brakes, and exhaust system, as the MOT records highlight specific faults in both areas. The lack of maintenance since the first test in November 2025 means that the suspension bushings and shock absorbers may be in poor condition, and the throttle operating issue noted in the 2022 test indicates a potential problem with the brake disc or caliper. A thorough visual inspection is required to determine if structural integrity has been compromised or if the brakes are still in working order despite the reported faults.
