DUCATI 7481994 · 0.7L PETROL

The roadworthiness of this vehicle cannot be verified due to a complete absence of testing data for the past eighteen years. The last recorded MOT occurred on 30 April 2008, where the motorcycle passed with no defects noted. Because it has not undergone a formal inspection since that date, there is no objective evidence to determine the current mechanical condition or structural integrity of the machine. The vehicle is effectively unvalidated and potentially unroad. The recorded mileage of 13,244 miles over a thirty-two year span represents an extremely low usage rate of approximately 414 miles per year. While this suggests the engine and drivetrain have seen minimal mechanical wear from high-speed travel, low-mileage vehicles of this age often suffer from degradation of rubber-based components and fluids. The significant gap between the 2008 test and the current date of 2026 indicates the bike has likely sat stationary for extended periods or operated without professional regulatory oversight for nearly two decades. A physical inspection must prioritize the effects of age and long-term storage. A buyer should check for extensive corrosion on the frame, perished seals, and degraded fuel lines that may have become brittle or cracked. The braking system requires close scrutiny for seized calipers and pitted brake discs resulting from lack of use. Additionally, the suspension fork seals and shock absorbers should be inspected for leaks, as perished rubber on tyres is likely past their service life regardless of the remaining tread depth.
