2009 Ducati 848 0.8L Petrol · NK59 BUW

The 2009 Ducati 848 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 31 May 2025 at 18,398 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across the five available tests from January 2021 to May 2025, the machine cleared every examination without advisories or failures. This clean sweep indicates consistent statutory compliance and no escalating mechanical concerns over the four-year window. The recorded mileage shows exceptionally light use for a seventeen-year-old motorcycle. The odometer moved from 17,173 miles at the 28 January 2021 test to 18,398 miles by 31 May 2025, a total accumulation of just 1,225 miles across those four years and roughly 1,082 miles per annum overall. A gap exists between the 29 April 2023 pass at 18,090 miles and the prior 1 December 2021 test at 17,699 miles, suggesting limited winter running. Such low annual coverage points to a garage-kept machine or long standing periods rather than neglected high-mileage abuse. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, calipers, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion appear in any entry, so the record gives no direct warning of worn consumables or chassis degradation. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of the fork seals, chain and sprocket wear, and tyre sidewall condition given the standing time implied by the mileage. Ducati desmodromic valve clearance intervals and coolant age are not captured by MOT and warrant verification against service history. The absence of recorded faults across five tests reflects either diligent owner care or simply minimal mechanical stress from low use. The pattern implies the previous keepers prioritised statutory testing and likely stored the bike correctly. Prospective purchasers should treat the clean MOT trail as a positive baseline, not a substitute for a physical assessment of rubber components and fluid condition before completion.
