2005 Ducati Multistrada 0.6L Petrol · KX05 KZB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its most recent MOT in April 2026 at 11,331 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but indicates a clear pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep regarding consumables. The tester flagged a front tyre worn close to the legal limit in the latest test, mirroring a previous advisory from 2020 where both the rear brake pads and rear tyre were nearing minimum limits. This suggests the owner addresses components once they reach failure thresholds. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 21-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 540 miles per year. The data shows significant gaps in usage, such as the 936-mile difference between November 2021 and April 2026. While this low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the engine and gearbox, the long periods of inactivity often lead to age-related degradation such as perished fuel lines, internal engine corrosion, and the hardening of rubber seals and hoses which are not fully captured by a standard MOT-only inspection. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rubber and fluid components due to the age and low use of the machine. Focus on checking in the fork boots, brake lines, and tyres for signs of dry rot or sidew cracking. Given the history of worn brake components, verify the current state of the rear discs and ensure the calipers are not seized from long periods of standing. You should also inspect the frame and swingarm for corrosion, as low mileage does not protect the structural integrity from environmental oxidation over two decades.
