2012 Ducati F848 0.8L Petrol · CX12 AYF

The Ducati F848 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 20 August 2025 at 10,526 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across every available test from 2017 through 2025 the machine cleared without advisories or failures. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical condition and no recurring fault pattern requiring concern from the official record. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2012 machine. The record shows 3,824 miles at the 24 May 2017 test, rising to 4,719 by 27 March 2019, 5,506 by 21 March 2020, 6,162 by 27 March 2021, and 10,526 by August 2025. That equates to roughly 752 miles per year overall, with a notable four-year gap between the 2021 and 2025 tests during which about 4,364 miles were added. Such low annual use over fourteen years suggests long standing periods rather than regular running, though the sparse clean history gives no evidence of deferred consumable replacement or neglect captured by testers. A buyer should still inspect in person for issues the MOT does not expose. Prolonged storage commonly degrades suspension bushes, fork seals, and tyre sidewalls even when tread remains legal. The brake calipers may bind from inactivity, and the exhaust system can suffer internal corrosion unseen at test. We recommend a close check of structural integrity around the frame and subframe for surface rust, plus verification that the chain, sprockets, and coolant have been serviced regardless of the clean pass record. Given the absence of any advisories across five tests, the previous keeper appears to have maintained basic statutory compliance. The low mileage and clean sheet imply light leisure use rather than skipped upkeep. A pre-purchase inspection by a Ducati specialist remains prudent to confirm fluid ages and bearing condition before purchase.
