2004 BMW R1100 1.1L Petrol · FL04 BDY

The 2004 BMW R1100 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 August 2025 at 9,372 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT results from 2021 through 2025. The recorded mileage reflects exceptionally light use for a 22-year-old machine. The odometer moved from 8,997 miles at the 21 August 2021 test to 9,372 miles by 16 August 2025, a total of just 375 miles across four years, or roughly 94 miles per year. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests shows only 16 miles added, and the 2024 to 2025 period added 250 miles. Such low annual accumulation suggests long stationary periods rather than regular riding, with no rapid mileage spikes or concerning gaps in testing. A clean MOT sheet with zero advisories across all five entries means the tester logged no worn suspension bushes, corroded structural points, binding calipers, or failing emissions at any stage. The absence of faults is a positive signal, but a bike covering under 450 miles a year for two decades will suffer from standing-related degradation not always visible in a 20-minute test. A buyer should physically inspect the fuel system for stale petrol residue, check tyre sidewalls for cracking from age rather than wear, and confirm the shaft drive and final drive oil remain uncontaminated. The brake discs and calipers need hands-on examination for pitting after long idle periods, and the frame welds should be checked for hidden corrosion beneath the paint.
