2013 Ducati Multistrada 1.2L Petrol · HX13 OOA

The Ducati Multistrada shows a stable and exemplary roadworthiness record, with all recent MOT tests—including the most current one on 2025-04-01 at 23,025 miles—passing without any defects or advisories. The absence of recurring failures or advisories over the past five tests suggests consistent compliance with UK roadworthiness standards, particularly in critical areas like braking, suspension, and emissions. The 2022 anomaly of a simultaneous pass and fail at 19,433 miles appears to be an administrative error rather than a mechanical issue, as no defects were recorded. This pattern indicates the vehicle has likely undergone regular servicing, though an in-person inspection remains essential to verify hidden wear. The recorded mileage of 23,025 miles over 13 years—roughly 1,771 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either minimal use or prolonged periods of storage. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests (a full year without mileage progression) could imply the bike was stationary, which may have contributed to potential issues with tyre degradation, battery health, or minor corrosion. Conversely, the steady accumulation of mileage in subsequent years (2023-2025) suggests recent activity, but the low overall distance raises questions about whether critical components like chain tensioners, clutch plates, or throttle body deposits have been serviced according to manufacturer intervals. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of high-wear consumables that aren’t captured in the MOT—particularly the chain and sprocket for stretch or corrosion, clutch components for wear, and the battery for sulfation. The lack of advisories on brakes or suspension in recent tests is reassuring, but binding calipers, worn suspension bushes, or degraded coil springs could develop without MOT detection. Additionally, the low mileage warrants scrutiny of fluid levels (brake, clutch, engine oil) and signs of neglect such as rust in wheel bearings or frame seams, especially if the bike was stored unsheltered. The absence of emissions-related failures is notable, but a recent smoke test or OBD scan would confirm no hidden throttle or catalytic converter issues.
