1995 DUCATI 7500.7L Petrol

The 1995 Ducati 750 has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded in either of the two most recent tests, both of which occurred in July 2024 and July 2022. The most recent test, conducted just under two years ago at 12,682 miles, confirms the vehicle passed without any advisories or failures, suggesting a stable roadworthiness status at the time. However, the lack of any recorded issues does not preclude the need for a thorough independent inspection, particularly given the vehicle’s age and the potential for hidden wear or deterioration in components not routinely assessed by the MOT test. The recorded mileage of 12,682 miles over approximately 31 years—equivalent to around 409 miles per year—indicates exceptionally low usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage change between the two MOT tests (a mere 12 miles over two years) suggests prolonged periods of inactivity, which could accelerate degradation in rubber components such as suspension bushes, throttle cables, and seals, as well as contribute to corrosion in exposed metalwork. Such low mileage also raises questions about whether the vehicle has been stored properly, potentially exposing it to environmental damage or neglect. Given the sparse MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of components not routinely checked by the test, including the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or dry rot, the integrity of the exhaust system for leaks or corrosion—particularly around flanges and joints—and the health of the electrical system, where prolonged inactivity may have caused battery or wiring degradation. The brakes, while not flagged in the MOT, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Finally, a detailed examination of the frame and fuel system for rust or leaks is essential, as these are critical structural and operational elements not always visible during a standard MOT.
