2016 Ducati Multistrada 1.2L Petrol · AP16 OFN

The vehicle currently presents a marginal roadworthiness status with a maintenance trend that appears reactive than proactive. The most recent test in April 2026 at 24,495 miles resulted in a failure due to an inoperative registration plate lamp. While this is a minor electrical fault, the preceding history shows a pattern of components being addressed only when they approach legal limits. The overall trend suggests the owner performs necessary repairs only when prompted by the MOT tester rather than through scheduled preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 2,450 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between October 2021 and March 2023, where the vehicle covered only 467 miles in over seventeen months. Such low mileage often reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, but increases the risk of degradation in rubber-based components and fluid contamination during long periods of standing. The accumulation of 5,531 miles over the last five tests is consistent with a bike that has likely sat stationary for extended intervals. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system, as the June 2025 test at 24,034 miles flagged a fluctuation in front brake effort and a rear tyre worn to 2.4mm. This follows a 2021 advisory where all brake pads were near the minimum limit, indicating the buyer should check the discs for pitting or corrosion caused by the low usage. Given the low mileage and high age, also inspect the tyres for sidew cracking and the suspension fork seals for leaks, as these components often fail due to age rather than tread wear.
