2009 BMW R 1200 RT1.2L PETROL

The current roadworthiness of this vehicle is uncertain due to a significant lack of testing data over the last five years. While the motorcycle maintained a clean record between 2015 and 2019, the history ends with two consecutive failures in November 2021 at 91,321 and 91,526 miles. Because no MOT has been recorded since these 2021 failures, the vehicle is currently out of test and unverified. The maintenance trend suggests a breakdown in oversight or a significant mechanical issue that occurred shortly before the last recorded test. The mileage profile of 91,526 miles over 17 years indicates a low annual usage of approximately 5,384 miles per year. However, the data shows a notable gap between the October 2019 test at 72,294 miles and the November 2021 tests, during which the bike covered nearly 20,000 miles in just two years. This burst of activity followed long periods of inactivity, which often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber-based components, perished seals, and brake corrosion in older motorcycles. The absence of any records from 2022 through 2026 is a major red flag, suggesting the bike has sat stationary for years or is being used without legal compliance. A buyer must investigate why the bike failed twice in 2021 without passing, as the record shows no specific defects for those failures. This often points to complex mechanical issues such as emission-related failures or structural corrosion that the owner chose not or was unable to rectify. Given the age and low mileage, a physical inspection should focus on brake fluid contamination, cracking in aged hoses, and the condition of the fork seals. Special attention is also required for the structural integrity of the frame, as long-term storage can lead to internal rust that low mileage alone does not prevent.
