2021 BMW K 1600 1.6L Petrol · OU71 LYX

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a minor shift toward component wear. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 15,205 miles resulted in a pass despite an advisory for rear brake pads approaching the minimum limit. While the motorcycle passed without major defects, this advisory indicates that the braking system is reaching the end of its service life and requires immediate attention to prevent a future test failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 3,041 miles per year. Between the 2024 test at 10,848 miles and the 2025 test at 15,205 miles, the vehicle covered 4,357 miles. This consistent interval suggests the bike has seen light use, though low mileage can sometimes lead to flat-spotted tyres or corrosion of rubber seals if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system, specifically checking the thickness of the rear pads mentioned in the last MOT. Given the low annual mileage, it is also essential to examine the brake discs for pitting or surface rust which often occurs when bikes are not frequently ridden. Inspect the suspension boots and rubber bushings for signs of cracking or perish, as these components can degrade more through age than through mechanical wear on low-mileage examples.
