2016 Ducati 1299 1.3L Petrol · AJ16 FWR

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a clean record of MOT passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2024 at 16,396 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical and safety components met the minimum legal standards. This trend suggests that the motorcycle has been maintained to a standard that avoids the accumulation of mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,640 miles per year. Between September 2020 and September 2024, the vehicle covered only 8,078 miles, showing a consistent history of infrequent use. While the 2020 test at 8,318 miles flagged a rear tyre worn close to the legal limit, subsequent tests at higher mileages show this issue was addressed. The low annual mileage implies that the wear on the drivetrain components and suspension is likely minimal compared to high-mileage examples. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on risks associated with low-mileage storage rather than mechanical wear. Long periods of standing often lead to flat spotted tyres, perished rubber seals, and corrosion of brake discs or calipers. Because the bike has not travelled extensively, it is vital to check the fluid levels for contamination or moisture and ensure the fuel has not degraded. Inspect the chain for dry spots and the fork seals for weeping, as these components suffer when a vehicle is not used regularly.
