2005 Ducati ST4S 1.0L Petrol · EU05 VEL

The vehicle shows a stable maintenance trend with a clean record of passes, although it has been nearly four years since the last recorded test on 22 August 2022. That final test at 39,062 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories. A strange anomaly appears in the August 2022 window, where the bike failed on 15 August and passed a week later, despite the record listing no specific defects for either entry. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 21 year old machine, averaging roughly 1,860 miles per year. The data shows very little usage in recent years, with only 235 miles added between August 2021 and August 2022. This pattern suggests the motorcycle has spent significant periods standing still rather than being used regularly. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of components that degrade during long-term storage. Focus on the condition of the tyres for flat spots or perishing and check for any signs of corrosion on the brake discs. The low mileage and long gaps between rides increase the risk of seized brake calipers or degraded fork oil. Check the battery health and fuel system for varnish or gumming if the bike has sat idle since 2022. While the MOT history is devoid of mechanical failures or structural rust, the lack of recent data means the current roadworthiness is unverified. A full service and a fresh MOT are essential to ensure the vehicle is safe for the road.
