2009 BMW K Series 1.3L Petrol · VO09 AEY

The 2009 BMW K Series presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 23 January 2026 at 52,263 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior examinations on 4 February 2025 at 49,659 miles, 5 January 2024 at 46,996 miles, 4 January 2023 at 41,926 miles and 10 December 2021 at 39,222 miles each yielded passes with zero advisories. This unbroken sequence of clear tests confirms the vehicle has not exhibited worsening conditions nor required rectification of recurring mechanical or structural faults. Mileage accumulation reflects light use for a seventeen-year-old machine. The odometer advanced from 39,222 miles at the December 2021 test to 52,263 miles by January 2026, a total of 13,041 miles over four years and one month, equating to roughly 3,074 miles per annum. A gap of thirteen months separated the 2021 and 2023 examinations with no interim entry, yet the low annual increment suggests gentle touring rather than daily use. The sparse but clean record implies previous custodians stored the vehicle for extended periods while maintaining it to a standard that avoided statutory failures. Prospective buyers should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive components that static records cannot capture. The tester logged no corrosion, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs or binding calipers issues, yet a machine of this vintage with low running may harbour dormant degradation from prolonged standing. We recommend scrutinising tyre sidewalls for perishing, checking brake caliper slide pins for seizure, and assessing structural integrity around frame junctions for hidden rust pitting. The flawless test history points to conscientious previous ownership that addressed wear before each annual examination, though the low mileage warrants verification of fluid renewal intervals and clutch actuation during a hands-on appraisal.
