2022 Yamaha YZF R1 21 (YZF1000) 1.0L Petrol · PF22 VLB

A consistent record of clean roadworthiness defines this motorcycle, with the most recent MOT pass on 06 August 2026 showing no recorded defects. The absence of any failures or advisories across the recorded testing history indicates that the vehicle has met all statutory safety and emissions standards without the presence of flagged mechanical issues such as brake wear, tyre degradation, or fluid leaks. The recorded mileage of 4,524 miles over a four-year period represents a low annual accumulation of approximately 1,131 miles. This usage profile suggests the vehicle has been subject to infrequent road use rather than high-intensity commuting or long-distance touring. Mechanically, such low mileage typically means that primary drivetrain components, engine internals, and suspension elements have experienced minimal cycles of wear, though it also implies the vehicle may have spent significant periods stationary. Given the lack of recorded defects, a physical inspection should focus on verifying that the low mileage has not resulted from prolonged periods of inactivity. On a test drive, pay close attention to the smoothness of the throttle response and the engagement of the gearbox to ensure there is no sticking or hesitation. Check for any signs of fluid weeping around the fork seals or engine casings, as even low-mileage vehicles can develop minor seal issues if left unridden for extended durations. Further attention should be directed toward the condition of the tyres and the drive chain. While the MOT record is clear, the low usage rate means the rubber compound may have aged or hardened despite having significant tread depth remaining. Inspect the drive chain for any signs of seizing or excessive slack, and listen for any rhythmic clicking or irregular vibrations during acceleration, which could indicate uneven wear or improper tensioning resulting from infrequent use.
