2007 Yamaha FZ1 1.0L Petrol · YL57 FOJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT history. The July 2026 test at 9,362 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester flagged a rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. This follows a clean pass in July 2025 at 8,578 miles, suggesting that while the bike is mechanically sound, consumable maintenance is currently lagging behind usage. The mileage pattern indicates extremely low usage for a 2007 model, averaging roughly 493 miles per year. A significant period of inactivity or very light use is evident between 2020 and 2022, where the mileage only increased by nine miles over two years. Recent years show a more consistent, albeit still low, accumulation of miles, rising from 5,544 in March 2023 to 9,362 in July 2026. This pattern of low mileage often implies the vehicle has spent long periods stationary, which can lead to component degradation despite the low mechanical wear. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the drivetrain and wheel assemblies. The records show a recurring issue with the rear wheel bearing, which exhibited slight play in both March 2022 and March 2023. Although the 2023 test also flagged a slightly loose drive chain, the subsequent clean pass in 2025 suggests these were addressed. Nevertheless, the presence of these faults in consecutive years warrants a physical inspection of the rear hub and chain tension to ensure the repairs were permanent. Further inspection of the braking system and tyres is necessary. The history shows a failed test in October 2018 due to a non-functional stop lamp and a bent front brake lever in October 2014. Given the recent advisory regarding the rear tyre in July 2026, the buyer should verify the overall condition of all rubber components, including seals and hoses, which may have perished due to the documented periods of low usage.
