2003 Yamaha FZS1000 1.0L Petrol · WAY 30

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last three MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-06-21 inspection at 13,091 miles. All prior tests from 2013 to 2023 also showed no issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the bike has been well-preserved, though the long intervals between some MOTs raise questions about usage patterns. The mileage of 13,091 miles over 23 years equates to an average of 569 miles annually, significantly lower than typical usage. Notable gaps exist, such as the seven-year period between the 2014-07-16 test (12,872 miles) and 2021-04-21 (12,998 miles), during which mileage increased by just 126 miles. This suggests prolonged inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like seals, fluids, and electrical systems. The recent tests show minimal progress in mileage, reinforcing the likelihood of infrequent use. A buyer should inspect for signs of prolonged storage, such as dry-rotted tyres, corroded brake calipers, or degraded suspension bushes, which may not appear in MOT records. The low mileage and long gaps between tests imply potential neglect of consumables like brake fluid or coolant. While no structural issues are flagged, the frame and exhaust should be checked for rust, and the battery tested for capacity, as these are common vulnerabilities in older vehicles with sparse usage.
