1987 BMW K Series 1.0L Petrol · D336 FDL

The vehicle displays a stable and commendable roadworthiness trend, having secured three consecutive clean passes without a single recorded advisory. The most recent test on 25 March 2024 confirms that the machine remains in a reliable state, suggesting that the current owner maintains the motorcycle to a high standard. This consistent absence of faults across the 2022, 2023, and 2024 inspections indicates that critical systems, including the lighting, braking, and steering components, are functioning as intended. With a total of 112,896 miles accrued over 39 years, the motorcycle averages approximately 2,895 miles per annum. This low-mileage profile suggests the machine has seen light, perhaps seasonal, usage rather than heavy daily commuting. The lack of significant mileage fluctuations between the 2022, 2023, and 2024 tests points to a steady, predictable maintenance cycle. While the low mileage is an encouraging indicator of limited mechanical fatigue, it also suggests the bike may have experienced extended periods of inactivity, which can sometimes lead to issues with fuel system degradation or internal seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of rubber components, such as coolant hoses and fuel lines, which often perish due to age rather than distance covered. Given the K Series design, check the final drive splines and the condition of the driveshaft gaiter for any signs of grease leakage or perished rubber. Inspect the frame for any hidden corrosion, particularly around the mounting points and the centre stand, as long-term storage can sometimes mask oxidation. While the MOT history is clean, verify that the fluid levels for the brakes and clutch are fresh, as these are frequently overlooked during periods of low annual mileage.
