2011 BMW R Series 1.2L Petrol · SM11 OCP

The vehicle presents a high roadworthiness status based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 23 April 2026 at 66,199 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, maintaining a stable trend of excellence over the last five years. This continuity suggests a proactive maintenance regime where mechanical and structural components consistently meet DVSA standards without recurring failures or escalating technical issues. The mileage profile is notably low for a fifteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 4,400 miles per year. Between May 2022 at 50,384 miles and April 2026 at 66,199 miles, the vehicle covered 15,815 miles, indicating consistent low-intensity usage. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts or fluid oxidation, which are not always captured in a standard stationary MOT test. While the digital record shows no recorded faults, a buyer must inspect for specific issues common to low-mileage, older machinery. Focus the physical inspection on the condition of seals, perished brake lines, and fork seals, which may suffer from age rather than distance traveled. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion and the suspension bushes for cracking, as the vehicle has sat periodically. Given the clean history, verifying the age of the tyres and the state of the fluids is essential to ensure components have not become brittle despite the tread depth.
