2019 Ducati Scrambler Cafe Racer 0.8L Petrol · CY19 MYN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding specific mechanical components. While it passed its most recent test on May 30 2026 at 6,918 miles, this followed a problematic inspection in April 2026. In that April test, the tester flagged three distinct issues including a noisy exhaust, a stiff steering head bearing, and a worn rear shock absorber bush. This suggests that age-related degradation is beginning to manifest despite the low overall mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old motorcycle, averaging fewer than a thousand-hundred miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between October 2024 and April 2026, where the bike covered only 877 miles over eighteen months. This pattern suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for long periods, which often leads to the drying of rubber components, seizing of seals, and the degradation of lubricants, contributing to the issues found with the steering head bearing and shock absorber bushes noted in recent tests. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the steering assembly to ensure the notchiness reported in April 2026 has been rectified through proper adjustment or replacement. The rear shock absorber also requires close scrutiny for play or oil leaks that would indicate internal seal failure. Furthermore, the noisy exhaust noted in the two consecutive tests during 2026 should be checked for loose mounting bolts or internal baffle damage, as persistent noise can be a precursor to structural exhaust failure if not addressed.
