2004 Ducati 999 1.0L Petrol · MB04 LUY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent certification. In the April 2023 test conducted at 15,178 miles, the motorcycle passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that it met all minimum safety standards at that time. Because there are no historical failures or recurring issues documented, the maintenance trend appears clean, though the lack of prior data limits a deeper longitudinal mechanical analysis. The recorded mileage of 15,178 miles over a 22-year lifespan represents an average usage of approximately 690 miles per year. This low mileage suggests the bike has been stored or used only for short trips rather than subjected to daily commuting. The significant gap between the April 2023 test and the current date of June 2026 means the MOT is now over three years old, which renders the record technically outdated for determining the current state of the vehicle. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of components affected by low-mileage, stationary storage. Low usage often leads to dry rot in tyres, perished rubber hoses, and seized brake calipers despite low tread depth. The inspector should specifically check for fluid leaks from potentially perished brake lines and inspect the suspension forks for scoring or seal failure. Given the age of the machine, verifying the structural integrity of the frame and the condition of the corrosion is essential, as the MOT record does not account for the degradation that occurs during long periods of inactivity.
