Our Verdict
A solid purchase option with a clean rec
When inspecting this BMW, focus on the tyres and wheels. The 2021 MOT record noted both front and rear tyres being close to the legal limit and a distorted bead rim on the front wheel. While these issues were not present in the 2024 or 2026 tests, you should check the current tread depth and ensure no recent impact damage exists on the rims.
Given the high annual mileage compared to the aggregate data, request a detailed service history to confirm that major maintenance intervals have been met. For a high-performance 999cc engine, regular oil changes and chain maintenance are critical. Check for any signs of fluid leaks or irregular chain tension during your physical inspection.
As a 999cc petrol machine, running costs will be influenced by riding style. Fuel economy will vary, but you should budget for premium fuel to maintain performance. Insurance groups for the S 1000 series tend to be higher due to the engine's power output, so obtain a quote specific to your profile.
Maintenance costs for this model can be higher than standard commuter vehicles, particularly regarding tyres and brake components, which are identified as common failure points in the wider model aggregate data. Expect annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, to sit in a moderate-to-high bracket.
Specifically examine the tyres and wheels; the 2021 MOT history highlighted issues with tyre wear and a distorted bead rim. Ensure the current tyres have ample tread and that the wheels are true and free from bends.
Additionally, keep an eye on the braking system. While this vehicle has passed recent tests without issue, 'brake indicates excessive' is a top failure reason for this model type in aggregate data. Check the pads, discs, and overall braking feel during a test ride to ensure everything is within specification.
This 2018 BMW S 1000, finished in blue, has covered 38,259 miles since its first registration in March 2018. The MOT history shows a clean record for the last three consecutive tests, with no defects recorded since 2021. The mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 1,808 miles per year, suggesting regular use.
The BMW S 1000 shows a high average MOT pass rate of 92.5% across 11,246 analysed vehicles.
