2021 BMW R 1250 GS Adventure TE 1.3L Petrol · SY21 XGF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 7 August 2024 at 22,187 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though a specific mechanical failure just prior to that test required immediate attention. While the bike shows a clean record in its latest passing certificate, the failure on 5 August 2024 indicates a lapse in brake performance that was addressed and rectified before the successful re-test. The mileage profile is low for a five-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 4,437 miles per year. There is a significant gap in data between the July 2023 test at 11,416 miles and the August 2024 test, where the bike covered over 10,000 miles in just a 13-month period. This suggests a period of heavy use followed by periods of lower activity, which can sometimes lead to flat spots on tyres, perished seals, or degraded brake fluid despite the low overall odometer reading. A buyer should specifically inspect the rear brake system to ensure the excessive fluctuation flagged in August 2024 has been fully resolved. Check for signs of a warped rear disc or a sticking caliper piston that could have caused the initial failure. Given the low mileage and the age of the vehicle, also examine the condition of the fork seals and any corrosion on the exposed hardware, as motorcycles that sit for long periods often suffer from degradation that mileage figures do not reveal.
