2011 BMW GS 0.7L Petrol · YP61 ABK

The most recent MOT on 16 October 2025 recorded a pass at 16,896 miles, indicating the motorcycle is presently roadworthy. The earlier failure on 10 October 2025 at the same mileage listed no defects, suggesting an administrative issue rather than a mechanical fault. Across five consecutive annual tests, no recorded advisories or failures appear, demonstrating a stable maintenance trend. Mileage has risen modestly over the fifteen‑year lifespan. From 15,704 miles on 5 November 2021 the odometer increased to 16,097 miles by 24 October 2022, then to 16,104 miles on 30 October 2024, and finally to 16,896 miles in October 2025. This equates to an average of roughly 1,100 miles per year, well below typical usage for a 2011 BMW GS. The data shows no abrupt spikes or gaps, implying the bike has seen light, consistent use rather than periods of intensive riding or long storage without movement. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of consumables that are not reflected in the MOT record. Inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, as low mileage does not guarantee recent replacement. Examine the front and rear suspension – check for play in the fork seals, bush wear, and coil‑spring condition. Test the braking system for even pad wear, disc surface condition, and binding calipers. Look for any signs of corrosion on the frame, swingarm, and exhaust, especially around mounting points where moisture can accumulate during prolonged idle periods. Finally, assess the battery health, fuel lines, and throttle cables for age‑related degradation that may not trigger MOT advisories but can affect reliability.
