2015 Ducati Scrambler 0.8L Petrol · CX65 ODN

The 2015 Ducati Scrambler presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 16 August 2025 at 5,568 miles with zero defects recorded. The previous test on 15 August 2024 at 5,071 miles also passed without advisories, indicating that the minor exhaust noise issue flagged on 19 July 2023 at 4,778 miles has since been resolved. No recurring defects appear across the record, and the trajectory from a single advisory in 2023 to consecutive clean passes in 2024 and 2025 suggests attentive ownership and consistent upkeep. The mileage profile is notably low for an 11-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 506 miles per annum. Between the March 2021 test at 3,084 miles and the August 2022 test at 4,230 miles, the bike covered roughly 1,146 miles in 17 months, a modest but steady rate of use. The subsequent intervals show similarly restrained accumulation, with only 841 miles added between August 2022 and July 2023, and 497 miles between August 2024 and August 2025. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer record, and the data points are consistent with a machine that has been ridden sparingly rather than left standing for extended periods. Despite the clean recent record, a prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection focused on components that low-mileage motorcycles are particularly susceptible to. Extended periods of inactivity can lead to deteriorated fork seals, corroded brake calipers, and degraded tyre rubber, none of which may manifest as an MOT failure on a lightly used machine. The 2023 advisory for an exhaust system noise defect warrants a close visual check of the exhaust headers, silencer joints, and mounting brackets for signs of cracking, heat damage, or loose fixings. Suspension operation, chain tension and lubrication, and the condition of brake discs and pads should all be verified, as infrequent use can mask wear that only becomes apparent under real-world riding conditions.
