2011 Ducati Multistrada 1200 S Touring 1.2L Petrol · FX11 CDN

The most recent MOT test for this 2011 Ducati Multistrada 1200 Touring was completed on April 13, 2022, and the vehicle passed without any defects recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend up to that point, suggesting the owner has generally kept the bike in good condition. However, the vehicle has accumulated a significant number of miles—15,688—over its 15-year lifespan, which is relatively low for its age. At approximately 1,046 miles per year, this usage rate is reasonable but warrants attention to ensure components such as the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain are not experiencing accelerated wear. The recorded mileage, while not excessively high, does raise some concerns given the age of the vehicle. A more consistent annual mileage would have been beneficial, but the current pattern does not show a clear deterioration in service intervals. Still, the absence of any MOT failures so far is encouraging, though it does not negate the need for proactive inspections. The owner should be particularly vigilant about the condition of the tyres, as age and usage can lead to perishing patterns or uneven wear. During a test drive, listen for any clunking noises from the suspension and check for binding in the calipers, which could indicate wear or misalignment. For buyers entering the vehicle, it is advisable to inspect the tyre sidewalls for any signs of cracking or perishing, which are common after several years of exposure. The 12V battery should be tested for health, as age can affect its performance and the risk of dead batteries during cold weather. Brake discs should be examined for corrosion or binding, especially if the vehicle has been parked in a confined space for extended periods. Additionally, verifying that service book stamps are present and up to date will confirm regular maintenance has been carried out. Given the clean MOT history, the focus should shift to age-related wear and the practical checks outlined above to ensure long-term reliability.
