2010 Ducati Multistrada 1200 S 1.2L Petrol · SF10 AHA

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance profile, though the most recent test on 18 October 2025 at 34,810 miles indicates the onset of minor mechanical wear. While the motorcycle passed its latest inspection, the tester flagged a light misting of oil on the front shock absorber and noted a deteriorated registration plate. These findings suggest that while the bike remains roadworthy, certain components are beginning to show signs of age-related degradation. The mileage history shows very low annual usage, averaging approximately 2,176 miles per year over its sixteen-year lifespan. A significant jump in mileage occurred between 2017 and 2018, where the recorded distance rose from 13,782 to 32,678 miles. Since then, the accumulation has been much slower and more consistent, with the 2024 test at 31,865 miles and the 2025 test at 34,810 miles showing steady, low-intensity riding. This pattern of low mileage often implies the vehicle has spent long periods stationary, which can lead to specific maintenance requirements for seals and fluids. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension to monitor the oil misting reported in the 2025 test, as this could indicate a failing fork seal requiring replacement. The brake system warrants scrutiny; the March 2023 test at 29,091 miles identified a slightly binding front brake, and although this was resolved, checking for caliper sticking or uneven pad wear is advisable. Previous issues with a noisy exhaust in 2015 and 2016, along with a tight drive chain in 2016, suggest that the drivetrain and exhaust mounting points should be checked for security and integrity. Finally, the history of tyre wear close to legal limits in 2023 suggests that consumable replacement follows a standard usage cycle rather than proactive replacement. Given the low mileage and the reported oil misting, checking the condition of all rubber seals, hoses, and the drive chain is necessary to ensure that long periods of inactivity have not caused dry rot or seized components.
