Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the final drive. The MOT records from 2022, 2024, and 2025 all highlight a loose or worn drive chain and sprocket, suggesting this is a recurring maintenance oversight. Confirm if a full chain and sprocket kit has been fitted recently or if the issues were merely adjusted to pass the test.
Given the age of the vehicle, request detailed service records specifically for valve clearances and fluid changes. Negotiate the price based on the current state of the front forks, as the 2025 MOT failure specifically noted reduced damping in both forks, which may necessitate a costly rebuild.
Running costs for a 696cc petrol twin are moderate, though Ducati parts and specialised labour typically command a premium over Japanese counterparts. Insurance will vary based on the rider's profile, but this model generally sits in a mid-to-high insurance group.
Annual costs will be influenced by the need for high-quality consumables. Based on the MOT history, the rear brake discs and tyres are wear items that have already required attention, and the drive chain requires regular monitoring. Expected annual expenditure for fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance is estimated between £900 and £1,300.
Carefully inspect the front suspension; the April 2025 MOT failure explicitly mentioned reduced damping in both forks, which is a significant mechanical point. Check the rear brake pedal, as the July 2026 MOT noted it is bent, and examine the rear brake disc for the pitting and scoring mentioned in the 2022 and 2025 records.
Check the drive chain for tension and wear, as this has been a consistent advisory across multiple years. Finally, verify the operation of the stop lamp, which caused a failure in 2025, to ensure the electrical system is functioning correctly.
This 2010 Red Ducati M696 + has recorded 21,884 miles as of July 2026. The MOT history is mixed, featuring a failure in April 2025 due to lighting, suspension, and wear items, though it passed its most recent test. There is a persistent pattern of advisories regarding the drive chain and rear brake components dating back to 2022.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Ducati M696 + to provide a model-wide comparison.
