2015 Ducati 899 0.9L Petrol · BN65 EHB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test in February 2026 at 18,027 miles. While the bike initially failed that same day due to a non-conforming registration plate, this was a minor administrative defect rather than a mechanical failure. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as no mechanical defects, structural corrosion, or brake-related failures have been recorded across the last four years of testing. The mileage profile is characteristically low for an eleven-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,640 miles per year. The data shows significant gaps in usage, such as the 4,000-mile interval between October 2023 and November 2024, and the 8,000-mile gap between October 2022 and October 2023. This pattern suggests the vehicle spends long periods stationary, which can lead to degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown despite the low overall tread wear. A buyer should focus inspection on the condition of the tyres, as the record shows recurring issues with tread reaching the legal limit in both 2022 and 2024. Given the low annual mileage, these tyres may be aged and hard despite potentially having remaining depth. Physical inspection is also required to check for seized brake calipers, perished fork seals, and fuel degradation, as long periods of standing often cause these issues on high-performance motorcycles. The chain and sprockets should be examined for surface rust or dry spots resulting from the infrequent use.
