Yamaha Fz1 Fazer Abs (2007)
2007 Yamaha Fz1 Fazer Abs
CarHunch analysed 129 real MOT records for the 2007 Yamaha Fz1 Fazer Abs. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2007 Yamaha FZ1 Fazer ABS falls just short of the UK average with a 78.3% first-time pass rate, slightly below the national 80%, though the 14.7% dangerous defect rate sits at an acceptable level for a bike of this age. Petrol models pass at 77.1%, suggesting minor reliability challenges across the board rather than a widespread systemic issue.
At 17,810 miles median and 21,155 miles average, these bikes have genuinely low mileage for a 17-year-old machine, which helps explain why advisories (4.3 per vehicle) outweigh actual failures (1.0 per vehicle)—owners are maintaining them carefully but they're showing age-related wear rather than hard use damage. Before purchasing, get a pre-MOT inspection to check for corrosion and fluid leaks, as these low-mileage bikes often sit between rides and can develop damp-related problems.
What to check before buying a 2007 Yamaha Fz1 Fazer Abs
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
