2015 Ducati F848 0.8L Petrol · GK15 VDF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 23 July 2025 at 7,102 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, despite a single failure during that same test due to a rear tyre with tread depth below 1.0mm. The owner addressed this consumable issue immediately, as the subsequent pass recorded no further defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and structural components remained within acceptable parameters over the last three years. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 646 miles per year. Data from the July 2022 test at 4,881 miles through the July 2025 test at 7,102 miles shows consistent, low-intensity usage without rapid accumulation. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine, and brake components, the long periods of standing associated with such figures can lead to dry rot in tyres, perished seals, and fluid degradation which are not fully captured by the MOT test. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on rubber-based components and fluid integrity, as low mileage often masks age-related degradation. Inspect the fork seals for weeping, the brake boots for cracking, and the tyres for flat spotting or cracking despite remaining depth. Given the recent failure for the rear tyre, verify that the replacement was fitted correctly and is of appropriate manufacture date. Additionally, check the chain for surface rust and the brake discs for pitting, as these areas often suffer when vehicles remain stationary for extended periods.
