2014 BMW R Ninet 1.2L Petrol · SE14 MLO

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent MOT test on 10 May 2025 at 7,440 miles resulted with no defects or advisories, indicating that the motorcycle currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a period of successful testing in the previous years, suggesting that the mechanical components monitored by the tester are functioning without recurring failures or significant structural degradation. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 620 miles per year. Between February 2022 at 4,540 miles and May 2025 at 7,440 miles, the vehicle covered only 2,900 miles over three years. The failure on 12 May 2023 at 5,665 miles was immediately followed by a pass on the same day, suggesting a minor issue was rectified quickly without affecting long-term reliability. While low mileage reduces the likelihood of mechanical wear on the drivetrain, it introduces specific risks associated with stationary components. A buyer should focus their inspection on signs of long-term storage rather than high-mileage wear. Check the tyres for flat spots or sidewall cracking, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. Inspect the brake discs for surface pitting and ensure the brake fluid has not absorbed excessive moisture during periods of inactivity. Given the low usage, verify that the fork seals are not leaking and that the fuel system has not suffered from varnish, as these are common issues for motorcycles that sit for extended periods.
