1992 Ducati 900 0.9L Petrol · K320 CHB

The 2012 Ducati 900 presents a stable roadworthiness record, with both available MOT tests—most recently in March 2025 at 4,571 miles and again in April 2023 at 1,534 miles—concluding with no defects. This clean history suggests the bike has been maintained to a high standard in recent years, with no advisories or failures to indicate deferred repairs. The absence of recurring issues on critical systems such as brakes, suspension, or structural integrity is particularly notable, given the age of the vehicle. However, the lack of a more extensive MOT history beyond these two entries raises questions about whether the bike has been consistently tested or if there are gaps in its service records. The mileage pattern is highly unusual for a 14-year-old motorcycle, with just 4,571 miles recorded—an average of roughly 326 miles per year. This suggests either very light use, prolonged periods of storage, or potential inaccuracies in odometer readings. The jump from 1,534 miles in 2023 to 4,571 miles in 2025 indicates a significant increase in mileage over a two-year span, though still well below average for a Ducati’s typical annual usage. Without earlier MOT records, it’s impossible to confirm whether this low-mileage trend is consistent or if the odometer has been tampered with. For a buyer, the primary focus should be on verifying the authenticity of the mileage, as the low recorded usage is atypical for a motorcycle of this age. A thorough inspection should include checking the condition of the suspension components—specifically the rear shock absorber and fork seals—for signs of wear or fluid leakage, given the potential for long-term storage. The brakes, including the calipers, pads, and discs, should be examined for corrosion or uneven wear, particularly if the bike has spent extended periods unused. Additionally, the frame and subframe should be scrutinised for stress cracks or signs of rust, especially around welded joints, as corrosion can develop insidiously over time. Given the lack of recent MOT advisories, the bike appears mechanically sound, but the unusual mileage pattern demands closer attention to its service and storage history.
