2009 BMW R Series 1.2L Petrol · HG09 GDK

The 2026‑03‑06 MOT at 71,164 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle met the current roadworthiness standards at the time of testing and that the maintenance record remains stable. All previous tests from February 2023 through March 2026 have likewise shown no recorded defects, indicating consistent upkeep. Mileage has risen from 42,502 miles in the February 2023 test to 71,164 miles in the March 2026 test, an increase of 28,662 miles over roughly three years, or about 9,550 miles per year, which is higher than the average annual mileage for a 17‑year‑old car and suggests more frequent use than light storage. The interval between the 2023 test and the 2024 test was 13 months, and the 2025 tests were conducted on the same day at the same mileage, a likely clerical duplication rather than a true mileage jump. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension system, checking for worn bushes, sagging coil springs and any binding calipers, as these components typically show wear with accumulated mileage. Inspection of the brake discs and pads, tyre tread depth, and the condition of the exhaust and structural bodywork is also advisable, given the vehicle’s age and mileage profile. Overall, the MOT history demonstrates a roadworthy condition with no documented mechanical failures, but the higher-than‑average mileage warrants a thorough in‑person assessment of suspension, braking and structural integrity before purchase.
