2015 Ducati Scrambler 0.8L Petrol · BN65 EHT

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 16 August 2023 at 796 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the motorcycle was in a clean condition during its last inspection, with no immediate mechanical or structural failures flagged by the DVSA. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old machine, averaging approximately 72 miles per year. Between the April 2021 test at 532 miles and the follow-up August 2023 test at 796 miles, the vehicle covered only 264 miles. While this suggests minimal wear on primary mechanical components like the drivetrain and engine, the long periods of inactivity often introduce specific risks related to degradation that a standard MOT test may not fully capture. A buyer must perform a physical inspection focused on components associated with long-term storage. Low mileage frequently leads to perished rubber seals, degraded hoses, and sticky brake calipers that may have seized from lack of use. The tyres should be checked for flat spotting and sidewall cracking, as rubber ages out regardless of tread depth. Furthermore, the buyer should inspect the fuel system for varnish and examine the suspension seals for any signs of weeping leakage that occurs when a bike sits stationary for extended periods.
