2009 BMW F800GS 0.8L Petrol · YG59 YMS

The 2025-08-20 MOT at 21,286 miles passed with no defects, confirming that the BMW F800GS remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable trend. Since the 2022 test, the vehicle has passed each subsequent inspection without recorded failures, indicating consistent upkeep. The mileage trajectory reflects light usage: from 18,043 miles in April 2022 to 20,135 miles in May 2023, a gain of 2,092 miles over eleven months, then only 754 miles to July 2024 and 397 miles to August 2025, suggesting periods of reduced riding. At 17 years old, the 21,286-mile total averages just over 1,250 miles per year, far below typical wear rates for a machine of this age. Recurring drive chain wear noted in 2023 and 2022 (6.1.7 (c) (i)) indicates a component that may be loose; the tester described it as slightly loose but not excessive, so a visual and functional check of the chain, sprockets and rear suspension bushes is advisable. Inspection of brake discs, calipers and pads for binding or excessive wear, assessment of coil springs and shock absorbers for corrosion or sag, and a thorough search for structural rust on the frame and subframes are essential. Overall, the vehicle shows no evidence of worsening mechanical risk, but a buyer should verify the drive chain condition, suspension integrity and brake health during a physical inspection, as these areas represent the only recurring concerns in the MOT history.
