2005 DUCATI 7490.7L Petrol

The 2005 Ducati 749 remains roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, as evidenced by its most recent 2025-04-26 MOT at 14,575 miles, which recorded no defects. All prior tests from 2023 to 2016 also passed without issues, indicating consistent adherence to safety standards. No advisories or critical failures were noted across the 11-year span of recorded tests, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a satisfactory level. The mileage of 14,575 miles over 21 years equates to an average of 694 miles annually, reflecting minimal usage. The MOT history reveals a gradual increase in mileage, with the 2017-10-21 test at 13,662 miles followed by a 2023-05-13 test at 13,844 miles—a 182-mile rise over five years. This slow accumulation implies prolonged periods of inactivity, which could affect components like the battery, fuel system, and seals. The 2024-05-04 test at 14,023 miles and 2025-04-26 test at 14,575 miles show a sharper climb, but no irregularities in the records suggest the bike has been periodically ridden. A buyer should inspect for signs of long-term storage, such as corrosion on the frame, oxidised rubber components, or stiffness in the suspension. While no structural issues were flagged, the low mileage and age necessitate checking the condition of the drivetrain, including the clutch and chain, as well as the integrity of the exhaust system. The absence of brake or suspension advisories is reassuring, but a physical inspection is recommended to confirm the bike’s mechanical health beyond the MOT records.
