2010 Ducati 1198 1.2L Petrol · SF10 ARX

The most recent MOT on 14 August 2025 at 13,951 miles recorded a Pass with no defects, indicating the motorcycle remains road‑worthy and the maintenance trend appears stable. The lone failure recorded on 6 October 2018 concerned a missing rear reflector, a minor safety item that was rectified the same day, and no subsequent advisories have been logged. Across a 16‑year lifespan the bike has accumulated only 13,951 miles, averaging roughly 870 miles per year. The interval between the 4 May 2020 test at 13,351 miles and the 4 June 2024 test at 13,728 miles shows a four‑year gap in recorded MOT activity, suggesting the machine may have been off‑road, stored, or otherwise not required to undergo annual testing during that period. No evidence of rapid mileage spikes appears in the record, reinforcing the impression of light, infrequent use. A prospective buyer should verify that the rear reflector is correctly fitted and examine the condition of the tyre tread, given the low mileage may mask wear from age rather than use. Inspection of the suspension components—coil springs, bushings, and any signs of corrosion on the frame—remains prudent, as structural integrity can deteriorate irrespective of mileage. Brake discs and pads should be assessed for wear and for any indication of binding calipers, while the exhaust system warrants a check for rust or leaks that could affect emissions compliance. Overall, the MOT history presents a clean mechanical picture, but a thorough visual and functional examination of the aforementioned items will confirm that the motorcycle’s low‑use profile has not concealed age‑related degradation.
