2015 Ducati 1299 1.3L Petrol · EA65 HXB

The vehicle maintains a stable level of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on May 18, 2024 at 18,583 miles returned no defects or advisories, indicating that the motorcycle met all safety and environmental standards. This trend of clean results across the last five years suggests that no significant mechanical failures or corrosion-related degradation have yet reached a threshold of concern during the DVSA testing process. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,689 miles per year. Between February 2022 and May 2024, the vehicle covered only 4,241 miles, suggesting periods of infrequent use or long-term storage. This low usage pattern typically reduces wear on high-stress components like the engine internals and brake pads, though the long intervals between tests can sometimes increase the risk of age-related degradation in rubber-based components and fluid chemistry which are not always captured in a standard MOT. Because the MOT record shows no recurring faults or advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage storage. Particular attention should be paid to cracking or perish in the tyres, brake lines, and fork seals, which can occur over time regardless of distance traveled. Inspect the drive chain for signs of rust or seizing and verify that the brake fluid has not absorbed moisture. Additionally, ensure that the brake discs have not developed surface pitting from long periods of inactivity.
