2015 Ducati 1199 1.2L Petrol · KV60 LDY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The latest test in March 2026 at 13,824 miles resulted in a pass despite an advisory for both tyres being worn near the legal limit. This follows a period in 2024 where the bike failed due to a non-functional horn and a deformed handlebar, suggesting that faults are only addressed upon inspection failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,257 miles per year. Data shows a consistent but slow accumulation between March 2024 and March 2026, with only 1,338 miles covered over those two years. While low mileage suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals of standing often lead to the degradation of rubber components, fluid breakdown, and seal corrosion which are not captured by mileage figures alone. A prospective buyer must inspect the front suspension closely, as the 2025 test flagged light oil misting on both the nearside and offside front shock absorbers. While this did not cause a failure, it indicates the beginning of a seal failure that will eventually require expensive fork leg rebuilds. The deformed handlebar noted in March 2024 also warrants a check for structural stress or misalignment in the triple clamps that may have occurred during the initial impact. Given the recent advisory on worn tyres, the rubber should be inspected for age cracking or flat spotting, as low-mileage tyres often age faster than they wear out. The brake discs should be examined for pitting or surface rust resulting from long periods of inactivity. The overall record indicates a machine that has been used sparingly but requires diligent attention to seals and components that suffer with long-term storage.
