2016 Ducati Diavel 1.2L Petrol · LC16 AFO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with a maintenance trend that has improved significantly in recent years. The most recent inspection in May 2025 shows a clean pass with no defects recorded, following another clean result in the 2024 test. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified further back in time have been addressed and the motorcycle currently meets operational standards. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,170 miles per year. There is a visible gap in usage between May 2019 and March 2021, where the bike covered only 1,771 miles over two years. Since 2022, the mileage accumulation has remained consistent and modest, with only 762 miles recorded between the last two tests. This low usage suggests the vehicle has likely spent long periods stationary rather than being subjected to high-distance touring. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the tyres and exhaust system, as the 2021 test flagged both front and rear tyres as worn to the legal limit. While these may have been replaced, the low mileage over age can lead to rubber rot or flat spotting on tyres which is not captured by an MOT test. Additionally, the noisy exhaust noted in 2021 should be verified to ensure no persistent leaks or loose mounting bolts have developed since that specific report. Given the low annual mileage, it is also vital to inspect the condition of fluids, seals, and the chain. Components that sit for long periods can suffer from internal degradation or corrosion irrespective of the distance traveled. Check the drive chain for excessive stretch or rust and ensure the suspension fork seals are not weeping, as these are common issues on low-mileage older bikes.
