Our Verdict
This 2011 Ducati Diavel Carbon Red offers strong brand appeal but shows recurring issues that warrant caution. The low mileage is a plus, but frequent MOT failures suggest potential maintenance risks.
Prioritise a thorough mechanical inspection of the exhaust system and braking components. Verify that the registration plate issues have been resolved. Negotiate a discount for the repair history, but be prepared for higher maintenance costs typical of premium motorcycles. Check for service records to confirm consistent upkeep.
Fuel economy for the 1200cc engine is likely efficient for a sport bike, though specific figures aren't available. Tax would be £0 for motorcycles under 150cc, but this model falls into a higher category. Insurance groups for Ducatis are typically high. Maintenance costs may exceed average due to brand-specific parts. Estimated annual running costs: £1,200-£1,500 including servicing and repairs.
Inspect the exhaust system for leaks or damage causing noise. Test the front brake for consistent pressure and check for worn pads. Verify the registration plate compliance with DVLA standards. Examine the engine and transmission for unusual wear given the age. Review service history for oil changes and major repairs.
The Diavel Carbon Red has a clean MOT in 2022 but shows repeated exhaust noise issues (2023-2025) and a brake fluctuation fault. With 14,974 miles (below average for its age), it remains a desirable machine but requires scrutiny of its mechanical condition and compliance history.
No aggregate MOT data available for this model, but the observed issues suggest potential recurring problems with exhaust systems and braking components.
