2016 Ducati Hypermotard 0.9L Petrol · AP16 ODR

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on January 10 2026 at 5,196 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though a recurring mechanical issue has emerged in the two most recent tests. Both the October 2025 and January 2026 tests flagged a noisy exhaust, indicating a persistent condition that has not been addressed by the previous owner despite consecutive warnings. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old motorcycle, averaging 520 miles per year. There is a significant three-year gap between April 2021 and February 2024, during which the bike covered only 181 miles. Since that period, the usage has increased slightly, with nearly 2,000 miles recorded between early 2024 and early 2026. This low-frequency use suggests the vehicle may have spent long periods stationary, which can often lead to the degradation of rubber components, fluid acidity, and tyre flat spots despite the lack of mechanical wear. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the exhaust system to determine if the noise is caused by a loose baffle, a cracked manifold, or internal corrosion. Because this fault was noted twice without rectification, the buyer should check for signs of leaks or loose mounting bolts. Given the low mileage and long intervals between use, the inspection should also focus on seized fork seals, perished brake caliper hoses, and the age of the tyres, as these components often fail through age rather than mileage on low-usage vehicles.
