BMW S 10002017 · 1.0L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recurring issue with the exhaust system. The most recent test in June 2025 at 15,173 miles resulted in a pass despite a noisy exhaust warning. This mirrors a finding from the June 2023 test at 8,683 miles, suggesting a persistent mechanical condition or a loose fitting that has not been fully rectified over a two-year period. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,686 miles per year. Between May 2022 at 5,297 miles and May 2024 at 11,987 miles, the vehicle covered 6,690 miles in two years. While the low mileage indicates less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, the long intervals between use can lead to the degradation of rubber seals, flat-spotting of tyres, and corrosion of brake discs, which are not always captured by a standard MOT inspection. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the exhaust system to determine if the noise is a simple heat shield rattle or a deeper internal failure within the manifold. The failure in May 2024 regarding the dipped beam and a missing rear reflector indicates a lapse in basic preventative checks prior to that test, though these were corrected for the subsequent pass. Given the low mileage, verify the brake fluid for moisture content and inspect the tyres for sidew cracking or age rot resulting from long periods of stationary storage.
