2016 Ducati Scrambler 0.8L Petrol · GK66 VUG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test in October 2025. While the overall mechanical condition appears stable, the recent maintenance trend shows a minor decline in drivetrain upkeep. The bike failed the 2025 test at 14,885 miles due to an excessively loose drive chain, following an advisory from the 2024 test at 12,074 miles indicating that the owner only addressed this specific issue after a formal failure occurred. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1488 miles annually. There is a significant gap in usage between September 2023 and September 2024, where the bike covered only 428 miles in thirteen months. This pattern of intermittent use suggests the vehicle may have spent long periods sitting stationary. While low mileage generally reduces wear on engine components and brake pads, prolonged storage increases the risk of age-related issues such as the degradation of rubber seals, flat spotting on tyres, and fluid decomposition if not regularly maintained. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the drive chain and sprockets to ensure the recent failure resulted in a proper replacement rather than a temporary adjustment. Given the low mileage and long stationary periods, attention should also be paid to corrosion on the brake discs and calipers, which often occurs when bikes are not used. Inspect the fork seals for signs of weeping or cracking, as low-mileage vehicles can suffer from perished rubber components rather than mechanical wear.
