2005 BMW R Series 1.2L Petrol · LA05 LUR

The vehicle currently holds a clean bill of health, with the most recent MOT conducted on 26 March 2026 resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. This outcome confirms a stable maintenance trend, as the motorcycle has achieved four consecutive clean passes since July 2021. The absence of any advisories in the last three years indicates that the owner has kept on top of routine wear and tear, suggesting the machine is currently in a reliable state of repair. At twenty-one years of age, the total recorded mileage of 32,758 miles averages out to approximately 1,560 miles per annum. This low usage is consistent across the provided timeline, with the most significant jump occurring between June 2023 and March 2025, where the bike covered roughly 3,850 miles. The steady, modest accumulation of miles suggests the vehicle has been used for light leisure riding rather than sitting dormant for extended periods, which reduces the likelihood of fuel system degradation or seized internal components often found in long-term storage cases. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of rubber components and seals, as low-mileage machines of this vintage often suffer from perishing hoses and dried-out fork seals despite passing MOT tests. While the 2021 entry regarding the front tyre was the only recorded fault in the provided history, the age of the chassis dictates that you must check for any signs of corrosion on the frame or swingarm, particularly around mounting points. Verify that the brake fluid has been flushed recently, as the MOT test does not measure the chemical degradation of hydraulic fluids, which is a common oversight on motorcycles that see limited annual use.
