2001 Ducati M600 0.6L Petrol · LK51 UHS

The Ducati M600 presents as roadworthy following a clean pass at 5,779 miles on 4 April 2026, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across recent testing. The most recent three examinations recorded no defects, and the vehicle carries a current clear MOT with no advisories on structural integrity, suspension, brakes, or exhaust emissions. Recorded mileage stands at 5,779 miles against a 2001 manufacture date, equating to roughly 231 miles per year. The bike covered only 53 miles between the September 2024 pass at 5,726 miles and the April 2026 test, and 912 miles across the 2023 to 2024 interval. Such low annual use over twenty-five years suggests prolonged standing periods rather than active riding, though the sparse record shows no rapid accumulation that would signal heavy wear on drivetrain consumables. Two failed tests on 13 September 2024 and 15 July 2023 both list no defects recorded, implying administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. The owner corrected these within days for clean passes, indicating willingness to keep the machine legally compliant. No recurring advisories on tyres, corrosion, or binding calipers appear in the history. A buyer should still inspect the motorcycle in person for age-related degradation not captured by MOT: perished suspension bushes, degraded fork seals, and structural rust on the frame or exhaust from long storage. Check brake discs for pitting after standing, and confirm tyre condition given the original-fit age risk. The clean record supports a sound purchase, but low mileage does not exempt the bike from quarter-century material fatigue.
