2009 Yamaha FZ1 1.0L Petrol · WN09 XEL

The 2009 Yamaha FZ1 shows a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at the most recent test on 2025-06-24 at 2,178 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. Prior examinations in December 2023 at 1,871 miles, January 2017 at 1,833 miles, January 2016 at 1,772 miles, and January 2015 at 1,640 miles all returned passes with no advisories. The maintenance record is unbroken and free of recurring mechanical or structural faults across the available history. The odometer reflects roughly 128 miles per year against a 17 year lifespan, a markedly low figure. Mileage crept from 1,640 to 1,833 between January 2015 and January 2017, then stalled near 1,871 by December 2023 before reaching 2,178 in June 2025. A six year gap separates the 2017 and 2023 tests, indicating the machine stood largely unused or was exempt from annual testing in that window. The sparse, clean records give no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still verify in person the condition of items the MOT does not deeply probe on a low-use machine. Long standing periods promote fork seal weeping, caliper piston seizure, and tyre sidewall cracking even when tread remains legal. Inspect the exhaust system and frame junctions for corrosion, and confirm the brake discs are free of pitting from inactivity. Given the absent advisories and consistent passes, previous keepers appear to have stored the bike rather than ridden it hard. Physical checks on suspension bushes, chain tension, and battery health will confirm whether light use preserved or quietly degraded the running gear.
