2002 Ducati M750 0.7L Petrol · SK02 JXB

The Ducati M750 recorded here has maintained a consistent MOT pass status across five consecutive tests, with no defects or advisories reported in any of the most recent examinations. The most recent inspection on 2026-03-23, at just 7,676 miles, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards. While the absence of recorded issues suggests no overt mechanical failures, the lack of advisories also means no evidence of proactive maintenance—such as suspension servicing, brake fluid renewal, or chain tension checks—has been documented. The clean MOT history does not imply neglect, but it equally does not demonstrate routine upkeep beyond statutory requirements. The vehicle’s mileage progression is unusually low for its age, averaging around 320 miles per year over the past four years. This suggests prolonged periods of inactivity rather than active use. The most notable gap occurs between the 2022 and 2023 tests, where mileage increased by only 629 miles in a year, followed by a further slow accumulation of 317 miles in 2024. Such minimal movement raises questions about storage conditions—potential risks include degraded battery health, seized suspension components from immobility, or corrosion from prolonged exposure to moisture. The lack of mileage does not inherently indicate poor maintenance, but it does necessitate scrutiny of components prone to deterioration when stationary for extended periods. Given the vehicle’s age and low mileage, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the battery, electrical systems, and suspension. The battery, in particular, may require testing given the prolonged inactivity, as lead-acid units can lose capacity over time. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be examined for cracking or perishing, especially if the bike has been stored without movement. Brake discs and pads, while not flagged in MOTs, may benefit from inspection for uneven wear or corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has been exposed to damp conditions. The drivetrain chain and sprockets should also be checked for stretch or rust, as neglect in this area can lead to sudden failure. Finally, a thorough visual inspection of the frame and fuel system for corrosion is essential, given the Ducati’s aluminium construction and susceptibility to electrochemical damage.
