Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2018 BMW F750?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

The 2018 BMW F750 is exceptionally reliable, with a first-time pass rate of 96.8%—well above the UK average of 80%—and only 5.0% of vehicles ever recording a dangerous defect, which is a reassuringly low safety concern. This is a motorcycle that rarely fails its MOT.

At just over 10,000 miles on average, these bikes are relatively low-mileage examples for their age, suggesting either gentle use or strong market demand keeping them in shorter-term ownership. The average of only 0.18 failures per vehicle and 0.8 advisories per test means defects are minimal when they do occur; if you're considering one, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on service history and general wear rather than structural or mechanical red flags.
