2016 BMW R 1200 1.2L Petrol · VE16 VRV

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a recent pass on 20 July 2026 at 25,779 miles. While the motorcycle remains roadworthy, the MOT history shows a developing trend regarding braking components. The most recent test flagged front brake pads nearing the minimum limit and worn front brake discs. This follows a previous advisory in July 2025 at 23,373 miles regarding rear brake pads being close to their limit. These entries suggest that while the vehicle is being maintained, the braking system is now entering a phase of required consumable replacement. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2016 model, averaging approximately 2,578 miles per year. The record shows very light use in its early years, with only 4,678 miles recorded by September 2020. A more significant jump occurred between July 2024 and July 2025, where the mileage increased by nearly 5,000 miles in a single year. Despite this slight increase in usage, the overall pattern indicates the vehicle has spent much of its life performing short trips or remaining stationary, which can sometimes lead to tyre flat-spotting or battery degradation, though no such issues appear in the MOT data. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system to prepare for upcoming costs. Given the consecutive advisories for both front and rear pads over the last two years, a full service of the brake pads and a thorough check of the disc thickness and surface condition is advisable. Because the motorcycle has been ridden at low annual mileages, it is also prudent to inspect the tyres for age-related cracking or perishing, as tread depth may still meet legal requirements despite the rubber being old. Beyond the braking components, the clean history from 2019 through 2024 suggests no significant issues with structural integrity or suspension components have surfaced.
