2017 BMW R1200 1.2L Petrol · WJ04 BAB

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 1 July 2025 at 24,720 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This mirrors the outcomes of the three previous tests dating back to July 2022, indicating a consistent standard of mechanical upkeep and a lack of recurring faults. The mileage is low for a nine year old machine, averaging roughly 2,747 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained relatively steady, with 2,537 miles added between July 2022 and July 2023, and 2,538 miles between July 2023 and July 2024. The most recent interval from July 2024 to July 2025 saw a slight increase to 2,545 miles. This linear pattern suggests regular, light use rather than long periods of stagnation. The absence of any advisories regarding brake discs, tyre tread, or suspension bushes over a four year period is unusual and suggests a proactive approach to maintenance. However, low mileage vehicles can suffer from perished rubber components or fluid degradation if not cycled correctly. A buyer should manually inspect the tyre date codes to ensure the rubber has not hardened with age despite having legal tread depth. Focus the physical inspection on the brake calipers to ensure no seizing has occurred due to light use. Check the battery health and oil condition, as these are the primary areas where low-mileage bikes show neglect. Given the clean MOT record, there are no specific structural or mechanical red flags in the data, but a check for surface corrosion on exposed fasteners is advised.
