2003 Ducati 748 0.7L Petrol · WX03 AFV

The Ducati 748 is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in February 2026 with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has consistently met passing standards over the last several years. Although there was a failure in August 2023, the subsequent retest was successful, indicating that any identified issues were addressed promptly to maintain the necessary safety standards. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 23-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,317 miles per year. There are significant gaps in usage, such as the eighteen-month period between July 2022 and November 2024 where only 1,122 miles were covered. While low mileage suggests the bike has undergone less mechanical stress than a typical machine, it also indicates long periods of standing, which can lead to the degradation of rubber components and internal fluid issues. A buyer should conduct a thorough in-person inspection of components affected by age and storage rather than just distance. Given the low usage, checking fuel lines for cracking and inspecting the fork seals for leaks is critical, as these often dry out irrespective of low mileage. The suspension and brakes should be examined for corrosion or seized calipers resulting from the bike sitting for extended periods. Additionally, the tires must be checked for dry rot, as tread depth is often secondary to the age of the rubber compound in this scenario.
