2009 Ducati GT 1000 1.0L Petrol · FX59 CWD

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status based on a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 4 October 2024 at 10,782 miles returned no defects or advisories. This result mirrors the outcomes from the 2023 and 2022 tests, indicating the motorcycle has remained in a compliant condition without recurring mechanical or structural failures during the testing intervals. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old machine, averaging approximately 634 miles per year. Between June 2022 at 10,671 miles and October 2024 at 10,782 miles, the bike covered only 111 miles. This pattern suggests infrequent use, which limits mechanical wear on the drivetrain, engine, and braking system. However, long periods of inactivity on older motorcycles often lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid oxidation that an MOT may not detect. Because the MOT record shows no recorded faults, a buyer must focus on the specific risks associated with low-mileage aging vehicles. A physical inspection is required to check for perished brake lines, dry tyre cracking, and fuel hose degradation which occur regardless of distance. The buyer should also inspect the fork seals for weeping and ensure the drive chain has not seized or stretched due to sitting. Given the long gaps between tests, verifying the condition of the brake fluid and the state of the battery is essential to ensure the bike is as mechanically sound as the paperwork suggests.
