2015 Ducati Panigale 1.2L Petrol · CE51 TAR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to care. The most recent test in April 2023 at 32,248 miles resulted in a pass despite a rear tyre being worn close to the legal limit. This indicates a failure to monitor basic consumable wear prior to the inspection. While the bike has passed its tests, the history of a coolant leak in early 2022 suggests that the cooling system has required attention previously. At 32,248 miles over eleven years, this Panigale shows low annual usage, averaging approximately 2,900 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between April 2019 and November 2020, where the bike covered over 12,000 miles in a relatively short window. This pattern of intermittent use often implies long periods of standing, which can be detrimental to rubber components, seals, and fluid chemistry. The jump from 14,920 miles in 2019 to 27,205 miles in 2020 highlights this inconsistent usage. A buyer must inspect the drivetrain and cooling system thoroughly. The 2020 failure at 27,205 miles for the drive chain being both excessively tight and loose suggests poor adjustment or sprocket-related sprocket wear. Given the recorded coolant leak in 2022, a visual inspection of the water pump, hoses, and perished seals is necessary to ensure system integrity. Because of the low mileage and high age, the tyres and fork seals should also be checked for cracking or dry rot, as these components degrade through time rather than through distance on low-mileage vehicles.
