2010 Yamaha FZ1S 1.0L Petrol · PE10 PXY

This Yamaha FZ1S presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean bill of health in its most recent test on 21 November 2025 at 27,020 miles. The vehicle has passed every MOT since 2016 with the exception of a minor lighting failure. The absence of defects or advisories in the last three consecutive tests suggests a period of consistent maintenance and a current state of good mechanical repair. The mileage pattern is unusually low for a sixteen year old motorcycle, averaging under 1,700 miles per year. The record shows significant periods of inactivity, most notably between December 2021 and December 2022, where the odometer moved only one mile from 14,973 to 14,974. A more recent surge in use occurred between November 2024 and November 2025, with the mileage increasing by 10,781 miles in a single year. This shift from long-term storage to active use is a critical detail for any prospective buyer. Past records indicate a recurring neglect of tyre maintenance. The tester flagged a rear tyre worn close to the legal limit in November 2019, November 2020, and December 2021. This pattern suggests the previous owner ignored basic consumable wear for several years. The November 2019 test also highlighted binding front brakes and fluctuating brake effort, which are common symptoms of a bike left standing for extended periods. A physical inspection should focus on the effects of long-term dormancy. Check for perished rubber components, including brake hoses and tyre sidewall cracking, regardless of the remaining tread. The history of binding brakes warrants a thorough check of the calipers and discs for pitting or seizure. Given the recent spike in mileage, verify that the drivetrain and fluids were properly refreshed before the bike returned to regular service.
