2020 Ducati M821 0.8L Petrol · BF20 FNV

The Ducati M821 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent pass on 20 March 2026 at 9,022 miles with no defects recorded. The March 2026 test cycle shows a fail on 10 March 2026 at the same 9,022 miles, yet the subsequent pass ten days later recorded no defects. This suggests an administrative or presentation anomaly at the first attempt rather than a mechanical fault, as the vehicle cleared without advisory or failure items on re-test. Mileage accumulation is low for a six-year-old machine. The record shows 4,114 miles at the February 2023 test, rising to 7,270 by February 2024, 8,211 by March 2025, and 9,022 by March 2026. That equates to roughly 1,500 miles per year. The largest single-year gain was 3,156 miles between February 2023 and February 2024; the remaining intervals show gentle use. Long standing periods are plausible given the totals, though the DVSA data contains no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion to confirm deterioration from storage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the fork seals, chain and sprocket wear, and brake caliper operation, as low-mileage machines left unused can develop weeping seals or binding calipers not captured in a clean MOT. The exhaust emissions and structural integrity drew no tester comments across all five entries. The absence of recorded faults implies previous owners kept basic consumables within limits, but the unexplained March 2026 fail warrants a check of the test certificate history to confirm no suppressed defect.
