2015 Ducati Multistrada 1.2L Petrol · AP15 MXK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a recent decline in attention to mechanical upkeep. While it passed its most recent test in June 2025 at 11,660 miles, this followed a failure just one month prior that revealed multiple mechanical defects. The presence of a fluid leak in the offside front shock absorber and restricted steering movement alongside a loose drive chain suggests that the bike had been neglected until the 2025 MOT necessitated immediate repairs. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,060 miles per year. There is a significant two-year gap between the February 2022 and May 2023 tests, during which the vehicle covered only 2,664 miles. This low usage often implies the motorcycle sat stationary for long periods, which frequently leads to the degradation of rubber components, seized seals, and internal corrosion that is not visible from the mileage alone, such as the shock absorber leak identified in the May 2025 failure. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front forks to ensure the offside shock absorber has been properly replaced and that no further leaks are present in the seals. The restricted steering movement noted in 2025 requires a check of the steering head bearings and pivot points to ensure they are not binding or worn. Additionally, the bent brake pedal mentioned in the most recent tests should be inspected for structural integrity or damage to the master cylinder, and the drive chain should be checked for proper tension and stretch despite the previous failure.
