2007 Yamaha FZ1N 1.0L Petrol · SV07 ETF

This Yamaha FZ1N presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend. The most recent MOT, conducted on 24 August 2024 at 37,826 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. A prior test on 20 August 2024 at 37,751 miles also shows no defects, indicating the machine has been kept in consistently sound mechanical order through its last inspection cycle. With no recurring advisories or failures, the record suggests diligent routine servicing rather than reactive repairs. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 2007 machine. Over roughly nineteen years, the odometer has advanced just 37,826 miles, averaging approximately 1,991 miles annually. Between the April 2021 test at 31,487 miles and the April 2022 test at 32,644 miles, only 1,157 miles were added in twelve months. The jump from 32,644 miles in April 2022 to 35,140 miles in May 2023 accounts for 2,496 miles over thirteen months, followed by a further 2,686 miles between May 2023 and August 2024. This is steady, moderate use without dramatic spikes or suspicious gaps, consistent with a motorcycle ridden regularly but sparingly. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still inspect components that age regardless of mileage. The front and rear suspension seals, swingarm pivot bearings, and steering head bearings deserve close attention, as prolonged standing can cause dried grease and micro-corrosion even on low-mileage machines. The braking system warrants a thorough check: remove the calipers and verify that pistons and sliders move freely, and examine the brake disc faces for uneven wear or corrosion pitting from extended static periods. Tyres must be inspected for date codes and sidewall cracking, since rubber degrades with age rather than mileage alone. A machine sitting for long intervals can also develop stale fuel, clogged injector passages, and corroded internal tank surfaces, so fuel system condition should be assessed before purchase.
