1993 Ducati 900 0.9L Petrol · K459 KNG

This Ducati 900 has maintained a clean MOT history through its most recent tests, passing all three examinations without any recorded defects. The final pass on 5 July 2025 at 30,158 miles confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, though the absence of advisories or minor faults in the record does not preclude hidden wear. The pattern of consecutive passes suggests consistent compliance with basic MOT requirements, but the lack of any warnings—even for consumables like tyres or brakes—implies either meticulous owner maintenance or a vehicle that has not yet reached critical thresholds for those components. The recorded mileage of 30,158 miles over approximately 33 years equates to an exceptionally low annual average of around 914 miles, far below typical usage for a high-performance motorcycle. The gap between the 2023 test at 29,208 miles and the 2024 test at 29,667 miles—just 469 miles in over a year—indicates prolonged periods of inactivity. Such low mileage may reduce wear on drivetrain and suspension components, but it also raises questions about storage conditions, potential corrosion from moisture, and the integrity of seals and fluids left stagnant over extended periods. The absence of MOT tests between May 2023 and July 2024 further suggests the motorcycle was likely off the road during that time, which could have allowed minor issues to develop undetected. Given the low mileage and lack of recorded faults, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of fluid levels and condition—particularly brake fluid, coolant, and lubricants—after prolonged storage. The suspension components, including coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, warrant close examination for dryness or degradation, as static loads over years can compromise rubber elements. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns should be checked, though the MOT history does not indicate any prior tread-related failures. Structural integrity, especially around the frame and fuel tank, must be assessed for corrosion or stress cracks, particularly if the motorcycle was stored in damp conditions. The electrical system, including battery health and wiring integrity, should also be tested, as prolonged disuse can lead to parasitic drain or corrosion in connectors.
