2009 DUCATI DESMOSEDICI1.0L Petrol

The 2009 Ducati Desmosedici presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, based on the most recent DVLA MOT test conducted on 5 May 2023. The tester passed the machine at 772 recorded miles with no defects logged. This single clean result shows no worsening or recurring fault pattern across the available history. The odometer reads 772 miles against a 17-year lifespan, equating to roughly 45 miles per year. The May 2023 test confirmed the same 772 miles as the only recorded figure, indicating the vehicle has covered negligible distance and likely stood unused for long periods. The MOT data contains no earlier entries, so we cannot chart rapid accumulation or intermediate gaps; the sparse record simply shows a low-use machine tested once in recent years. A buyer should physically inspect the Desmosedici for issues latent in long-standing motorcycles that a single pass does not reveal. Check suspension bushes, fork seals, and coil springs for perishing from inactivity. Examine brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding after storage, and verify tyre condition given age-related hardening despite adequate tread. Confirm structural integrity around the frame and exhaust for surface rust, and request evidence of fluid changes during the dormant years. The clean 2023 test offers reassurance, but low mileage alone does not certify mechanical fitness without hands-on checks.
