Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
When purchasing this S 1000 XR, focus on the service history rather than the MOT record, as the latter does not confirm oil changes or valve clearance checks. Ensure all BMW-specific service intervals have been met to maintain the engine's longevity.
Given the 999cc engine's performance, check the condition of the chain and sprockets, as these wear faster on high-torque motorcycles. Negotiate based on the remaining tread depth of the tyres, as replacements for this model can be costly.
Running costs for a 1000cc petrol engine are higher than average. Fuel economy will vary significantly based on riding style, but expect premium fuel costs associated with a high-performance BMW powerplant.
Insurance for a liter-class bike is typically in a higher group, and annual maintenance at a BMW specialist or dealership will be a significant budget item. Estimated annual costs include fuel, road tax, insurance, and scheduled servicing.
While this specific vehicle has no recorded MOT defects, aggregate data for the S 1000 XR highlights brake pads as a common failure point. Carefully inspect the remaining brake pad thickness and the condition of the discs.
Additionally, check the footrests for stability and completeness, as 'missing footrests' appear in the model's top failure reasons. Perform a general check of the grey bodywork for any cosmetic blemishes that would not be captured in an MOT test.
This grey 2021 BMW S 1000 XR TE has covered 14,529 miles since its first registration in January 2021. The MOT record is notably clean, showing four passes between 2023 and 2026 with zero defects or advisories recorded. Its usage patterns align closely with the typical profile for this model.
The S 1000 XR is highly regarded for reliability, supported by an aggregate MOT pass rate of 96.3% across over 3,000 analysed vehicles.
