2014 Ducati Multistrada 1.2L Petrol · EF14 UVN

The vehicle maintains a passing roadworthiness status following its most recent test on August 6, 2025. While the motorcycle passed this inspection, the maintenance trend shows the emergence of mechanical defects that were not present in the 2022 or 2023 records. The tester flagged the offside front shock absorber with a light misting of oil and noted the nearside front brake binding. These issues indicate the beginning of component degradation that requires monitoring to prevent future failure or accelerated uneven wear. The recorded mileage of 9,031 miles is exceptionally low for a 2014 model, averaging only approximately 753 miles per year. There is a significant gap in mileage between the April 2023 and August 2025 tests, which suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods. This low usage pattern often leads to secondary issues such as the drying of rubber-based components, fluid degradation, and corrosion of braking surfaces, which aligns with the binding caliper advisory noted in the most recent MOT entry. A buyer must personally inspect the offside front shock absorber to determine if the oil misting has progressed to a seal failure requiring replacement. The binding nearside brake also demands a thorough check of the caliper pistons and fluid condition to ensure corrosion has not occurred due to disuse. Given the low annual mileage, evaluating the condition of the tyres for age cracking and checking the chain for stretch is critical, as these parts often age faster than they wear down through distance driven. Buying score: 68 Risk level: Low.
