2013 Ducati 796 0.8L Petrol · AX13 FCJ

The 2013 Ducati 796 presents a clean roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 20 May 2025 at 9,011 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend is stable across all available entries. Prior tests on 26 May 2023 at 8,161 miles and 2 April 2022 at 10,025 miles also passed with no advisories, showing no worsening mechanical condition over the observed period. The mileage pattern is unusually low for a thirteen-year-old machine. Recorded distance fell from 10,025 miles in April 2022 to 8,161 miles by May 2023, then rose to 9,011 miles by May 2025. That equates to roughly 693 miles per year overall. The dip between 2022 and 2023 suggests the bike stood unused for extended stretches, a pattern consistent with light recreational ownership rather than neglected storage. No rapid accumulation or concerning gaps beyond the sparse three-entry record appear. A buyer should still inspect the machine in person despite the clean sheet. Long stationary periods at low mileage risk degraded suspension seals, flat-spotted tyres, and corroded brake discs or calipers from moisture ingress. The DVSA record flags none of these, but testers cannot assess internal engine wear or hidden structural rust on a pass with no defects. Confirm the actual odometer against the 9,011-mile figure and check for fretting on the chain, hardened rubber bushes, and disc pitting. The absence of advisories implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, yet the sparse history leaves little evidence of deep mechanical care beyond statutory testing.
