Our Verdict
This is a relatively low-mileage example
When inspecting this 2022 BMW R 1250 GS, your primary focus should be on the exhaust system. The 2025 MOT recorded a failure for a 'noisy exhaust', so you must listen for any unusual vibrations, loose heat shields, or leaks at the manifold that could indicate the issue hasn't been fully rectified.
Given the mileage is significantly above the model average, check the condition of the tyres and chain/sprocket kit. While the aggregate data for this model shows tyres as a common failure point, you should verify if this specific bike has had recent replacements to accommodate its higher-than-average usage.
As a 1254cc petrol machine, running costs will be higher than a standard commuter bike. Fuel economy will depend heavily on your riding style and whether the bike is loaded with adventure luggage, but you should budget for premium unleaded fuel.
Insurance groups for the R 1250 GS Adventure are typically higher due to the bike's value and performance. Maintenance costs for BMW boxer engines are generally higher than Japanese alternatives, particularly for specialist components like the Telelever suspension or electronic rider aids.
Directly address the 2025 MOT failure by performing a thorough inspection of the exhaust assembly. Check for any signs of damage to the exhaust headers or loose mounting bolts that might have caused the 'noisy' designation.
Additionally, because the aggregate data for this model highlights brakes and tyres as frequent MOT failure reasons, inspect the brake pad thickness and disc wear. Check the tyre tread depth and look for any signs of uneven wear which could indicate alignment or suspension issues.
Registered in October 2022, this black BMW R 1250 GS Adventure TE has covered 13,142 miles as of its October 2025 MOT. This mileage is higher than the model average of 3,442 miles per year, suggesting it has been used more frequently for touring than the typical example. The single recorded MOT failure for a noisy exhaust indicates a specific mechanical check is required, but otherwise, the data shows a high pass rate for this model type.
The BMW R 1250 GS shows a strong aggregate MOT pass rate of 97.2% across 6,664 analysed vehicles.
