2015 Ducati Hypermotard 0.8L Petrol · HV64 OPH

The 2015 Ducati Hypermotard presents a clean roadworthiness record as of its most recent test on 23 January 2026 at 5,547 miles, where it passed with zero defects. The maintenance trend is stable and currently improving. A minor advisory for a slightly loose rear drive chain appeared in May 2023 at 4,567 miles, but this was resolved before the same-day retest and has not recurred in subsequent annual tests through January 2026. No corrosion, structural deterioration, exhaust emissions failures, or braking system defects have been flagged across the entire recorded history. The vehicle has effectively moved from a period of minor drivetrain adjustment into a sustained run of defect-free operation. Mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old motorcycle. The odometer advanced just 695 miles between May 2025 and January 2026, and only 279 miles between May 2024 and May 2025. Over the full recorded span from May 2023 to January 2026, the bike covered 980 miles across twenty months, averaging roughly 590 miles per year in that window. The long-term average sits at approximately 504 miles annually. This pattern suggests either very light recreational use or extended periods of inactivity. Low mileage alone does not guarantee sound mechanical condition. Prolonged standing can cause seal deterioration, tyre flat-spotting, stale fuel system issues, and brake disc corrosion, none of which appear on the MOT record but remain worth verifying physically. A buyer should focus the in-person inspection on components that the MOT does not stress-test in depth. Check the rear drive chain and sprockets carefully, given the 2023 advisory for chain slack, and confirm the chain has been properly tensioned and lubricated since. Examine the front and rear brake discs for surface corrosion or uneven wear, as infrequent riding can cause pad transfer and disc pitting even when braking performance passes the roller test. Inspect tyre sidewalls for perishing and date codes, since rubber degrades with age regardless of tread depth. Verify that the steering head bearings, swingarm pivot, and rear shock linkage are free of play, as static corrosion in these areas is common on low-mileage machines that have stood for long periods. The MOT record confirms this bike is fundamentally sound. A hands-on mechanical check will confirm whether the care behind that clean paperwork has been equally thorough.
