2001 BMW K Series 1.2L Petrol · YG51 AEP

This BMW K Series presents an exemplary MOT record. The most recent test, conducted on 14 May 2026 at 13,623 miles, passed with zero defects. Looking back through the entire five-year history provided, every single annual test from May 2022 through May 2026 has passed with no advisories or failures whatsoever. This demonstrates a remarkably stable and consistent maintenance trend. The vehicle has been kept in outstanding mechanical condition, with no recurring faults, no corrosion issues, and no emissions failures recorded at any point. The mileage pattern tells a very specific story about this vehicle's life. At roughly 25 years old with only 13,623 miles recorded, this equates to an average of approximately 545 miles per year. The annual mileage accumulation is remarkably steady and minimal. Between the May 2023 test at 12,496 miles and the May 2024 test at 12,819 miles, the bike covered just 323 miles. From May 2024 to April 2025, it added 193 miles, reaching 13,012. The most recent year saw 611 miles added between April 2025 and May 2026. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation. The MOT records are complete and consecutive, with tests consistently booked around the same spring window each year, suggesting a disciplined and attentive owner. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection. Low-mileage vehicles that stand for extended periods can develop issues that MOT tests do not always capture. Rubber suspension bushes, seals, and tyres can perish from age rather than use, so check the date codes on the tyres and look for cracked or perished rubber on the swingarm bushes, steering head bearings, and fork seals. Inspect the brake calipers for binding, as sitting vehicles often suffer from stuck pistons and corroded discs even with minimal mileage. Examine the exhaust system and frame closely for any signs of surface corrosion or structural rust, particularly in the subframe and rear suspension linkage areas. Drain and inspect the engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid for condition and contamination, as infrequent use can cause moisture accumulation and fluid degradation. The fuel system should also be checked, as old petrol in a lightly used tank can cause carburettor or injection issues.
