2002 BMW R1150R 1.1L Petrol · AU02 VPL

The current roadworthiness status of this BMW R1150R is excellent, with the most recent test on 29 April 2026 resulting in a pass. The maintenance trend is stable and reflects a machine that has been kept in good order by its previous owners. While the motorcycle failed its initial 2026 inspection due to a minor headlamp aim adjustment, this was rectified immediately, indicating that the owner addressed the discrepancy without delay. The recorded mileage of 67,541 over twenty-four years averages out to approximately 2,814 miles per annum, which is notably low for a motorcycle of this vintage. The usage pattern shows a consistent, modest increase in mileage year-on-year, suggesting the bike has been used regularly rather than left to sit for extended periods. The jump from 54,408 miles in April 2023 to 59,346 miles by April 2024 represents the highest annual usage in this record, yet the bike transitioned through these tests without significant mechanical issues. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, specifically the rear components. The April 2024 test flagged the rear brake pads as nearing their minimum limit and noted wear on the rear brake disc. Although these items did not trigger an advisory in the subsequent 2025 or 2026 tests, they are consumable parts that require verification of their current thickness and surface condition. Given the age of the machine, check the condition of the rubber brake lines and the integrity of the suspension seals, as these components often degrade due to time rather than just mileage accumulation.
