2015 Ducati Monster 1.2L Petrol · GK15 VCY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass in the April 2026 test at 6,410 miles. The maintenance trend has improved significantly since a period in early 2022. Since the April 2022 failure, the motorcycle has maintained no recorded defects or advisories across three consecutive inspections, indicating that the mechanical issues identified previously were addressed and the vehicle currently meets minimum standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 583 miles per year. Data shows a notable gap in usage between April 2022 and April 2023, where the bike covered only 1,406 miles, followed by more consistent intervals of roughly five hundred miles annually. While low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, long periods of inactivity often mask issues with fluid degradation, perished rubber seals, and tyre deformation that an MOT test may not fully capture. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system given the 2022 failure history. The tester previously flagged front brake effort fluctuation and inadequate rear brake effort, which could indicate worn pads, perished brake lines, or glazed discs. The noisy exhaust noted in 2022 should also be checked for mounting bolts or internal baffle integrity. Additionally, the low mileage necessitates an inspection of tyres for flat spots or cracking and fork seals for leaks, as these components often age faster than they wear when stationary for long periods.
