2012 BMW R Series 1.2L Petrol · AF12 JDK

The 2012 BMW R Series presents a stable and clean roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 31 March 2025 at 34,283 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken four-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. The maintenance trend shows no degradation and no advisories across the available history. Annual mileage sits far below typical use for a fourteen-year-old machine. Records show 33,049 miles at the 25 March 2022 test, rising only to 33,788 by 11 March 2023, 34,106 by 23 March 2024, and 34,283 by 31 March 2025. That is roughly 177 miles per year over the last three years. Such low accumulation points to long standing periods rather than regular riding, with no gaps in testing and no sudden mileage jumps. A buyer should still inspect the bike in person for issues that MOT tests on motorcycles may not deeply probe. Extended storage invites perished suspension seals, flat-spotted tyres, and corroded brake discs or calipers even where the tester logged nothing. Check the fork stanchions, final-drive spline grease, and chassis welds for rust or fatigue. The clean record implies a careful or lightly used previous keeper who kept the machine taxed and tested on time. Absence of advisories does not guarantee fresh consumables, so confirm tyre age, brake pad thickness, and coolant condition before purchase.
