2011 Ducati 848 EVO 0.8L Petrol · FN51 AND

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent test on November 2025 at 5,380 miles. Following a period of minor failures in the earlier years of registration, the Ducati has passed without any recorded defects or advisories for the last consecutive inspections. This suggests that the current ownership is proactive in addressing mechanical issues and ensuring the bike remains compliant with safety standards. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a fifteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 359 miles per year. The data shows significant periods of inactivity; for instance, the bike covered only 43 miles between June 2023 and November 2025, and just 56 miles between 2022 and 2023. While this limits mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it increases degradation of rubber-based components, seals, and fluids due to age-related perishation and long-term storage rather than physical use. A buyer must physically inspect the components that have shown recurring issues in the past. The 2019 test identified steering headbearing play and a loose drive chain, while the 2017 record flagged rear wheel bearing play. Although these were subsequently rectified, the buyer should verify there is no remaining play in the steering assembly and that the wheel bearings are tight. Given the low mileage, close attention should also be paid to cracking in tyre sidewalls and brake hoses, as these often fail through age long before the tread wears out.
