2016 BMW R 1200 1.2L Petrol · SM16 KJV

The vehicle maintains a high roadworthiness status based on a consistent history of clean passes across all inspections. The most recent test on 20 May 2025 at 10,329 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend where mechanical and safety components continue to meet regulatory standards. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or deteriorating structural integrity in the recorded data. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,033 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between the 2021 test at 4,481 miles and the 2022 test at 8,121 miles, where the vehicle covered over 3,600 miles in seventeen months. Since then, the usage has slowed to more consistent annual intervals. This low mileage suggests the bike sits for long periods, which often leads to different wear patterns such as rubber degradation or fluid oxidation compared to high-mileage examples. While the MOT record shows no faults, a buyer must inspect for specific issues associated with low-mileage storage. Focus on checking for flat spots on tyres, cracking in the rubber seals, and degradation of brake lines which may perish from age rather than use. Inspect the suspension fork seals for weeping and check the brake discs for surface corrosion, as infrequent use can lead to minor pitting. Given the low mileage, verifying that engine oil and brake fluid have changed according to time intervals is as critical as checking mileage-based service.
