2015 Ducati M 1.2L Petrol · AP15 MXL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on a consistent history of clean MOT results. The most recent test conducted on 13 October 2022 at 816 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the motorcycle has remained in a compliant state during its documented operation, showing no evidence of mechanical failure or structural degradation under the official testing parameters. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old machine, averaging approximately 74 miles per year. There is a four-year gap between the July 2018 test at 592 miles and the October 2022 test, during which only 224 miles were covered. This data suggests the vehicle has spent long periods stationary. While this low mileage limits wear on the drivetrain, brakes, and tyres, it also introduces risks related to age that an MOT test cannot fully capture. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on components affected by long-term storage. Priority attention should be given to the tyres for cracking, flat spotting, and perished sidewalling, as rubber degrades regardless of distance traveled. The braking system should be checked for seized calipers or perished brake lines which often occur when fluid sits infrequently. Additionally, inspect the fork seals for leaks and ensure the fuel system is free of varnish or contamination resulting from aged fuel during the extended periods of inactivity.
