2002 Yamaha FZS1000 1.0L Petrol · SA02 AED

The vehicle maintains a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test on 15 May 2026 at 14,196 miles resulted in no defects, continuing a stable trend of maintenance over the last six years. This consistency suggests the motorcycle has been kept to a standard that avoids the mechanical failures or structural degradation typically seen in older machinery. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 592 miles per year. Between 2021 and 2024, the bike covered only 707 miles, indicating long periods of storage or very occasional use. The slight increase to 166 miles between May 2024 and May 2026 shows marginally more regular movement but the overall accumulation remains minimal. While this low mileage limits wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of age-related perish in parts affected by time rather than friction. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer must perform a physical inspection focusing on issues associated with low-use vehicles. Priority should be given to rubber components, including fuel lines, brake hoses, and fork seals, which may perish or crack regardless of tread depth. Check the tyres for flat spots or deep corrosion and the brake discs for pitting, as stationary vehicles often suffer from surface oxidation. Additionally, inspect the frame for hidden-seated corrosion, as the MOT tester does not always uncover internal structural decay on motorcycles of this age.
