2016 Ducati Panigale 1.2L Petrol · HT16 BFK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 4 July 2025 at 5,001 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the motorcycle currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a clean pass in 2021, suggesting that the mechanical condition has remained consistent despite the long intervals between tests. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a decade-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 500 miles per year. There is a significant four-year gap between the September 2021 test at 4,207 miles and the July 2025 test at 5,001 miles, during which only 794 miles were recorded. While this indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain components, brakes, and tyres, long periods of standing can lead to degradation of rubber seals, fluid acidity, and tyre flat-spotting. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the exhaust system, as the history recorded a failure in June 2020 at 3,155 miles for a noisy exhaust. Although subsequent tests passed without issue, checking for leaks or loose mounting remains prudent. Given the low usage, the focus should shift from mechanical wear to age-related consumables, specifically the brake fluid moisture and the condition of the tyres, which often perish through age rather than tread depth.
