2007 Ducati 1098S 1.1L Petrol · HX57 FDZ

The 2007 Ducati 1098S presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 October 2025 at 8,272 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes across the available history. The recorded mileage shows exceptionally low use for a nineteen-year-old machine. The September 2022 test logged 7,423 miles, rising to 8,118 by November 2023, 8,172 by October 2024, and 8,272 by October 2025. That equates to roughly 100 miles per year over the last three years and an overall average near 435 miles annually. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear in the data, and the clean record across all four entries suggests the bike has seen minimal road exposure. A buyer should still inspect components prone to deterioration through standing rather than use. Long idle periods at low mileage risk degraded suspension seals, hardened tyres, and corroded brake discs or calipers despite no advisories being raised. The DVSA record shows no flagged structural rust, exhaust, or steering faults, but the absence of defects does not confirm component condition after extended storage. Given the spotless test history and negligible annual mileage, previous ownership appears to have prioritised dry storage over regular riding. Physical checks on fork stanchions, chain tension, and coolant condition remain sensible before purchase.
