2006 BMW F800ST 0.8L Petrol · HT06 ADV

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 31 March 2026 at 18,169 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2009, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or used sparingly enough to avoid common mechanical degradation. The mileage is very low for a 20-year-old motorcycle, averaging roughly 908 miles per year. A significant period of inactivity is evident between 16 July 2016 and 16 April 2025, where the odometer moved only 222 miles over nearly nine years. This suggests the bike spent a prolonged duration in storage. Recent usage has increased slightly, with 1,007 miles covered between April 2025 and March 2026. While the absence of MOT failures or advisories is positive, the long periods of standing introduce specific risks. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the fuel system for varnish or gumming and check the health of the battery. Rubber components, including tyre sidewalls and brake hoses, should be examined for perishing or cracking regardless of the low tread wear. The lack of recorded issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion in the DVSA data is encouraging. However, the buyer must verify that the oil and other lubricants were changed during the long storage period to ensure the engine internals remain protected. Checking for binding calipers is also advisable given the historical lack of movement.
