2008 Yamaha FZ1 Fazer ABS 1.0L Petrol · WR08 WHH

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent record of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection on 11 March 2026 at 78,509 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owner has successfully maintained the motorcycle to a standard that avoids the mechanical failures or structural degradation typically seen in older bikes of this era. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eighteen-year-old machine, averaging approximately 4,362 miles per year. Between March 2022 at 57,069 miles and March 2026 at 78,509 miles, the bike covered 21,440 miles. This consistent, low annual usage suggests light operation, which generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and internal engine components. However, the low mileage on an older vehicle can sometimes mask age-related degradation, such as perished rubber or fluid breakdown, which does not always register through mileage alone. Despite the clean MOT history, an in-person inspection must focus on components affected by time rather than just distance. The buyer should check for surface corrosion on the frame and the perish of fork seals, brake lines, and rubber boots, which can become brittle after two decades. Given the low mileage, verify the state of the tyres for cracking and inspect the chain and sprocket for signs of rust from long periods of standing. The lack of recorded advisories suggests the structural integrity and braking system remain sound, but a physical check of the swingarm pivot and suspension bushings is necessary to ensure no hidden seizing has occurred.
