2011 Ducati Diavel Carbon 1.2L Petrol · DL11 VEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent clean record following an early mechanical failure. The most recent test on 11 July 2025 at 17,478 miles passed with no defects, indicating that the motorcycle currently meets all statutory roadworthiness requirements. This follows a three-year trend of clean passes, suggesting that the mechanical components have been maintained to a functional standard in recent years. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a fifteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,165 miles per year. There is a significant gap in recorded mileage between June 2021 and May 2023, during which the vehicle covered only 429 miles. Since 2023, the usage has increased slightly, covering 1,049 miles over the last two years. This low-frequency usage pattern suggests the bike has spent considerable time in storage or stationary for long periods, which can often lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluids rather than mechanical wear-and-tear. A buyer should focus their inspection on risks associated with low-mileage long-term storage. While the 2021 failure for excess exhaust noise at 16,000 miles was resolved, the buyer should verify the exhaust system and manifold for any subsequent leaks or internal corrosion. Given the age and low use, inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking, perished rubber brake hoses, and seized calipers that often occur when a vehicle is not used regularly. Check the brake discs for pitting or heavy rust, as stationary vehicles often develop deep surface oxidation despite low mileage figures.
