2015 Ducati Hypermotard 0.8L Petrol · GL64 XRM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT history reveals a persistent pattern of unresolved mechanical and auxiliary issues. While it passed the latest test on 13 June 2026 at 4,426 miles, it had failed inspection just one day prior for multiple defects. The maintenance trend remains stable in its faults, as the noisy exhaust and rear brake fluctuations have appeared across all three recorded tests, suggesting that the owner performs only reactive repairs rather than addressing the root causes. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 402 miles per year. However, the data shows significant usage gaps. There is a notable three-year interval between the January 2023 test and the June 2026 tests, during which the vehicle covered only 30 miles. This pattern suggests the bike has sat for long periods, which often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components, perished brake fluids, and internal engine corrosion regardless of the low odometer reading. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear braking system due to the recurring fluctuation in brake effort noted in both 2023 and 2026. This often indicates a sticking caliper piston, a contaminated master cylinder, or a warped rotor. The persistent noisy exhaust also requires an investigation for loose mounting bolts or internal baffle damage, as the tester flagged this consistently over three years. Given the low mileage and long stationary periods, checking for tyre cracks, dry seals, and seized linkages is essential, as these components often fail through age rather than wear.
