Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2020 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 2020 BMW F750 is a standout performer, with a 96.7% first-time pass rate that sits well above the UK average of 80%—a clear sign of solid build quality and owner maintenance. Dangerous defects are rare at just 4.6%, so safety shouldn't be a concern for buyers.

These bikes average just over 10,000 miles at test, which is typical for leisure-focused motorcycles, and the low failure rate of 0.14 per vehicle confirms they're reaching their MOTs in good shape. The 0.7 advisories per bike suggest minor wear rather than systemic problems, so focus your pre-purchase inspection on brake condition and tyre depth rather than expecting structural issues.
