2012 Yamaha Fazer 8 ABS 0.8L Petrol · VR07 DEL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on August 30, 2025, 11,190 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the electrical failure identified in the previous year was addressed immediately. While the 2025 failure for a non-functional dipped beam headlamp indicates a minor oversight, the subsequent pass shows that the owner is willing to rectify safety-critical lighting faults. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 800 miles per year. Between September 2024 and August 2025, the bike covered only 193 miles, confirming a pattern of infrequent use. While this mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain is likely minimal, the low mileage suggests the vehicle sits for long periods. This often leads to issues with age-related degradation such as perished rubber components, dried seals, and fuel oxidation that are not always reflected in the odometer reading. A buyer must inspect the tyre condition specifically, as the 2023 test flagged both an offside front tyre out of shape and a squaring rear tyre. These issues indicate the bike has sat stationary for long durations, which can cause flat spotting and dry rot regardless of remaining tread depth. Inspect the brake discs for corrosion and the calipers for seizing, as low-use vehicles frequently suffer from surface rust. Additionally, verify the front fork seals for leaks and the drive chain for excessive slack to ensure the low mileage has not compromised the integrity of the moving parts.
