2022 Ducati Multistrada V2S 0.9L Petrol · MF22 AAN

The two thousand and twenty-two Ducati Multistrada V2S presents an encouraging overall maintenance trend, culminating in a clear pass at its most recent MOT test on the seventh of May two thousand and twenty-six with zero defects recorded. This clean sheet follows a previous test in March two thousand and twenty-five where the motorcycle initially failed due to a missing rear reflector and received an advisory for slight play in the rear wheel bearing. Because the minor lighting defect was promptly rectified and the subsequent test showed no lingering issues, the historical record indicates that the machine has been appropriately cared for and maintained to a standard that satisfies UK roadworthiness criteria. With a recorded mileage of twenty-six thousand seven hundred and fifty-five miles at roughly four years of age, this Multistrada has covered an average of approximately six thousand seven hundred miles per year. This usage profile is entirely typical for a high-performance adventure touring motorcycle and suggests consistent, regular operation rather than prolonged periods of inactivity or severe over-mileage. Such healthy, continuous use generally prevents the common mechanical ailments associated with standing, such as fuel degradation or seized internal components, though it does mean consumable items like chain and sprockets, brake pads, and tyres will have experienced steady wear commensurate with the distance covered. Despite the clean bill of health on the most recent MOT certificate, the prospective buyer must pay close attention to the rear wheel bearing advisory noted in the March two thousand and twenty-five test history. During your static inspection and test ride, place the motorcycle on its center stand if equipped or a paddock stand, grab the rear wheel at the twelve and six o'clock positions, and rock it firmly to check for any residual lateral play or roughness in the hub assembly. A worn rear wheel bearing on a single-sided or robust dual-sided swingarm setup can manifest as a subtle humming noise at speed, a vague feeling in the rear end during cornering, or accelerated wear on the final drive components, meaning replacement of the bearings and seals may be an impending maintenance requirement if the play has progressed. Beyond the rear hub assembly, a thorough physical examination of the machine is essential given its touring and adventure pedigree. Inspect the front and rear suspension fork seals and electronic damping units for any signs of weeping oil or weeping fluid, listen for smooth engine operation without abnormal cam chain rattle or clutch basket chatter, and check the service history to verify that the desmodromic valve clearances and belt or chain services have been completed on schedule. Test all electrical functions thoroughly, including the TFT display, riding modes, and ABS systems, and ensure the tyres have plenty of tread remaining across the profile without uneven cupping or cracking from age.
