2016 Ducati Scrambler 0.8L Petrol · GC16 VTX

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 12 May 2025 at 8,456 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and structural components met all DVSA standards. This trend suggests the motorcycle has been maintained to prevent recurring mechanical failures or significant degradation over the last several years. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 846 miles per year. Between July 2020 at 5,169 miles and May 2025 at 8,456 miles, the vehicle covered only 3,287 miles. The data shows a notable gap between the 2021 and 2023 tests, where the mileage increased by only 798 miles. This low usage suggests the bike may have sat stationary for long periods, which often presents different risks than high mileage wear and tear on the drivetrain or brake components. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer must inspect the motorcycle for issues associated with low-mileage storage. Focus on the dry rot and cracking in rubber components, specifically fork boots, tyres, and brake lines, which can perish over time regardless of distance traveled. Check the brake calipers for seized pistons and ensure the brake fluid has not absorbed moisture or oxidised due to inactivity. Additionally, inspect the chain for excessive rust and verify the tyres for flat spots or internal corrosion, as these are common on a vehicle that has not experienced regular thermal cycles.
