2007 Yamaha YZF R1 1.0L Petrol · SF57 EJO

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test on 13 December 2025 at 25,971 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the last several years. This lack of failures suggests that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable parameters without triggering advisories during the official inspection process. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,367 miles per year. A significant gap exists between July 2022 at 22,476 miles and July 2023 at 24,519 miles, where the vehicle covered fewer than 800 miles in twelve months. Since then, usage has increased slightly, reaching the current figure by the final test in late 2025. This low usage suggests the bike has likely been stored indoors for long periods, which often places different stresses on the vehicle than high-mileage commuting. While the MOT record shows no mechanical faults, a physical inspection must focus on risks associated with low-mileage storage. A buyer should inspect rubber components for cracking or perished seals, particularly around brake lines, fork seals, and tyres sidewalls which degrade over time regardless of distance traveled. The chain should be checked for corrosion and the brake discs for pitting, as infrequent use can lead to surface rust and binding calipers. The fuel system should also be verified for varnish degradation to ensure long periods of standing have not compromised the injectors or the fuel pump.
