2018 BMW F 800 0.8L Petrol · WM18 KFD

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The latest test in December 2025 at 29,228 miles recorded a pass despite the front tyre reaching the 1mm legal limit and showing signs of perishing and uneven wear. This follows a pattern established in the previous two years where consumables were consistently allowed to run to the point of failure rather than being replaced during scheduled service intervals. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,650 miles per year. Between December 2021 and December 2022, the vehicle covered 4,972 miles, indicating a period of relatively light use. However, the interval between November 2023 and November 2024 saw an increase in usage to 3,548 miles, which coincided with the first instances of significant wear on the brake pads and tyres. The low overall annual mileage suggests the bike may have sat stationary for long periods, which often contributes to the perishing noted on the aged rubber components. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the tyres and braking system. The recurring failures for tyres worn to the minimum limit across 2023, 2024, and 2025 suggest a history of neglecting basic wear items. Because the 2024 test flagged both front and rear brake pads at the minimum limit, the discs should be checked for scoring or pitting caused by running the pads to to metal. Given the perishing reported in the latest test, the buyer should also look for cracks in the sidewalls and rubber degradation, which are common on low-mileage vehicles that age without frequent use.
