2012 Yamaha FZ8 0.8L Petrol · YP12 AEO

This Yamaha FZ8 maintains a stable and exemplary roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT on 12 July 2025 at 15,509 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of five consecutive years of clean passes, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in a high state of mechanical repair. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 1,108 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained minimal and consistent, with only 645 miles added between August 2024 and July 2025. Such low usage suggests the bike has spent significant time stationary, which often presents different risks than high-mileage wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by inactivity rather than wear. Check for perished tyres, dried-out brake seals, and potential corrosion on the chain and sprocket set. The lack of MOT advisories suggests the previous owner maintained the bike well, but the low annual mileage makes it necessary to verify the condition of the battery and the freshness of the engine oil. Inspect the brake discs for surface pitting or corrosion that can occur during long periods of standing. Ensure the fork seals are not leaking due to oil degradation. Given the clean history, there are no recurring mechanical faults to flag, meaning the primary concern is ensuring the vehicle has not suffered from neglect during its periods of dormancy.
