2001 BMW R Series 1.1L Petrol · KM51 UBC

The vehicle maintains a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 14 August 2025 at 23,369 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the mechanical and structural components have met all regulatory standards without recurring faults or escalating signs of degradation over the last five recorded tests. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twenty-five-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 935 miles per year. Between March 2022 and August 2025, the bike covered only 275 miles, moving from 23,094 to 23,369 miles. There is a notable gap between the November 2020 and March 2022 tests, suggesting the vehicle likely sat stationary for extended periods. While low usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it introduces specific risks related to stagnation. While the MOT record is pristine, a buyer must inspect the vehicle for issues associated with low-mileage storage. Rubber components, such as suspension bushes, tyres, and brake lines, often perish from age and cracking regardless of distance traveled. The buyer should check for seized brake calipers or rusted brake discs, which frequently occur when a vehicle remains unused for long intervals. Additionally, a physical inspection of the frame for structural corrosion is essential, as the MOT tester only identifies rust once it compromises structural integrity.
