2010 Ducati M1100 1.1L Petrol · BX10 PFE

The most recent MOT test conducted on 26 June 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Evaluating the recent testing history shows a stable and consistent maintenance trend. Although the vehicle recorded a failure on 27 June 2024, the subsequent pass without advisories suggests that the identified issues were successfully addressed. The frequency of inspections in 2025 indicates a proactive approach to maintaining roadworthiness, which is a positive indicator for a prospective buyer. With a recorded mileage of 15,798 miles for a 2010 model, the vehicle has covered an exceptionally low distance, averaging approximately 987 miles per year. While this suggests minimal mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain components, such low usage often implies that the vehicle has spent considerable periods standing idle. For a high-performance machine, long periods of inactivity can be just as detrimental as high mileage, as it can lead to the degradation of rubber seals, the settling of fluids, and the onset of corrosion in areas that are not regularly cleaned or lubricated by movement. Because the vehicle has been used sparingly, your physical inspection should prioritise age-related deterioration over wear. Closely examine the tyres for any signs of perishing, such as sidewall cracking or a hardened tread, as rubber degrades over time regardless of the remaining tread depth. Check the drive chain and sprockets for signs of surface corrosion or stiffness, which can occur when a vehicle is stored without adequate lubrication. You should also inspect the front forks and engine seals for any signs of weeping or fluid leaks, as seals can dry out and lose their integrity when not regularly cycled through their range of motion. Additionally, verify the condition of the braking system by checking the discs for heavy corrosion or pitting and ensuring the calipers are not binding due to seized pistons. Given the low mileage, it is vital to confirm that time-sensitive maintenance has been performed, specifically the replacement of brake fluid and coolant, as these fluids absorb moisture and degrade over time. Test the battery health to ensure it can hold a charge after periods of standing. During your test ride, listen for any unusual noises from the suspension or drivetrain and feel for any hesitation in the throttle or irregularities in braking to ensure that the components have not become stiff or seized due to the vehicle's low usage profile.
