2003 Ducati 748 0.7L Petrol · CX03 AXB

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean record of passes over the last five years. The most recent test on 14 June 2025 at 17,898 miles returned no defects or advisories. This consistency indicates that the mechanical and structural components subject to the MOT test remain meeting operating standards without any history of recurring failures or progressive degradation noted during the annual inspections. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twenty-three year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 778 miles per year. Between April 2021 and May 2022, the vehicle covered only 2,225 miles, suggesting long periods of stationary or minimal use. The recent increase of 1,193 miles between June 2024 and June 2025 shows a slight uptick in usage, but the overall mileage remains far below average. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, it increases the risk of age-related failure due to time rather than mechanical friction. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on items associated with low-mileage, long-term storage. Dry rubber components should be checked for cracking or perished surfaces, specifically the fork seals, brake hoses, and tyres. Because the bike has sat for periods, the brake calipers should be tested for seized pistons or corrosion that the MOT tester might not fully expose. Inspect the frame for surface rust and the fuel system for varnish, as these issues are common in vintage vehicles of this age that bypass the standard MOT inspection criteria.
