2016 Ducati Panigale 1.2L Petrol · HT16 ATF

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 27 August 2025 at 1,517 miles showed no defects or advisories. This continuity suggests that the motorcycle has remained in a functional condition and has not been subjected to significant mechanical failure or structural degradation over the last five inspection cycles. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old machine, averaging approximately 152 miles per year. Between the April 2021 test at 857 miles and the August 2025 test at 1,517 miles, the vehicle covered only 660 miles over four years. This low usage rate indicates the bike likely spends long periods stationary rather than being in regular daily use. While this limits the wear on the drivetrain, brake pads, and tyres, it introduces specific risks related to fluid degradation and rubber perishation that a standard MOT test may not fully capture. A buyer must focus their inspection on items associated with long-term storage rather than mechanical wear. Inspect the tyres for flat spots, sidewall cracking, and hardening, as low tread depth can mask the age of the compound. The buyer should check the brake fluid for moisture contamination and examine the fork seals for signs of leaking caused by infrequent movement. Additionally, the chain should be inspected for rust and tight links, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface corrosion when left standing.
