2010 Ducati Multistrada 1200 S 1.2L Petrol · FX10 EJF

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the most recent inspection indicates a minor decline in mechanical consistency. In the April 28 2026 test at 24,238 miles, the tester flagged a front brake binding condition. This follows a three-year period of clean records between 2022 and 2024, suggesting that while the bike generally ages well, specific components are beginning to require attention to prevent further degradation. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,500 miles per year. There is a notable gap in the records between October 2020 and March 2022, where the bike covered only 1,209 miles in over seventeen months. Since 2022, usage has increased slightly, covering over 4,400 miles in the last four years. This low-frequency use suggests long periods, which often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluid-related issues rather than mechanical wear from high mileage. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the front brake caliper to determine if the binding is caused by a seized piston or a perished seal, as this was the only defect recorded in recent years. The history of front tyres reaching the legal limit in both 2015 and 2020 indicates a pattern of replacing consumables only when they reach failure. Given the low mileage, the inspection should also check for tyre rot, perished rubber seals in the fork forks, and surface corrosion on the chain, which are common in vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods.
