2016 BMW C 650 0.6L Petrol · HT16 PXF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 19 May 2025 with 4,570 miles and no recorded defects. This follows a clean pass in July 2024, indicating that previously identified electrical issues were successfully rectified. The maintenance trend appears improving, as the motorcycle has moved from recurring lighting failures to a clean sheet in the latest two inspections. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old machine, averaging approximately 457 miles per year. There is a significant two-year gap between the June 2022 test and the July 2024 test, during which the vehicle covered only 284 miles. While this low usage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of inactivity often lead to the degradation of rubber-based items, such as tyres, seals, and hoses, which are not fully captured by an MOT test. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on the electrical system given the recurring nature of the headlamp faults. The failures in 2022 and 2024 regarding the main beam and aim suggest potential issues with the wiring loom or bulbs. Given the low mileage, it is vital to check for brake fluid moisture contamination and corrosion on the discs, as stationary vehicles often suffer from seized calipers or pitting. Inspect the suspension seals for cracking and ensure the tyres have not flat-otted or rotted despite having ample tread depth.
