2006 Ducati Monster S2R 0.8L Petrol · LK06 BYM

The vehicle presents a consistent and stable maintenance profile according to the available MOT records. The most recent test on 22 July 2025 at 16,254 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a series of successful inspections dating back to 2016, indicating a sustained period of roadworthiness without any flagged issues regarding structural integrity, lighting, or braking systems. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a 20-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 813 miles per year. The data shows significant periods of stagnation, such as the four-year gap between the 2021 test at 16,181 miles and the 2025 test at 16,254 miles. While this suggests light usage, such extended intervals of inactivity can lead to degradation in components that do not rely on movement, such as rubber seals, fuel system integrity, and battery health. A prospective buyer should focus on mechanical components that suffer from age rather than mileage. Given the long periods of standing, a thorough inspection of the fuel system for varnish or degradation is necessary. You should also examine the tyres for sidewall cracking and check the condition of all rubber hoses and seals for perishability. Since the MOT record is entirely clean, the primary risks are likely related to age-related deterioration of consumables rather than mechanical wear from heavy usage. The suspension and drivetrain should be checked for any signs of corrosion or seizure resulting from the recorded periods of inactivity. While the MOT history shows no issues with brake discs or calipers, the lack of recent mileage means the braking system should be checked for any sticking components or degraded fluid. The overall record suggests a well-kept vehicle, but the low usage necessitates a closer look at all age-sensitive materials.
