2022 Ducati Multistrada V2S 0.9L Petrol · MF22 ADV

The Ducati Multistrada V2S in question achieved a clean MOT pass on 25 April 2025 at just 1,829 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. This represents a stable roadworthiness trend, as the sole test in the available history confirms compliance with all current DVSA standards. The absence of any advisory notes suggests the vehicle has not experienced recurring or deferred issues that might indicate underlying neglect or mechanical instability. However, the test date is now over a year out, meaning the vehicle has not undergone a formal inspection since May 2025—well beyond the 12-month MOT validity period. Buyers should treat this as a provisional snapshot rather than a definitive assessment of current condition. The recorded mileage of 1,829 miles over approximately four years—roughly 457 miles annually—is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age and type. Such minimal usage could imply prolonged periods of storage, which may accelerate deterioration in components like rubber seals, battery health, and fuel system integrity. The lack of intermediate mileage readings makes it impossible to determine whether the vehicle was ever actively ridden or if it has spent extended periods stationary. This pattern raises questions about maintenance consistency, particularly for items like chain tension, throttle body carbon buildup, and suspension fluid degradation, all of which can degrade rapidly in low-use scenarios. Given the sparse MOT history, an in-person inspection should prioritise critical high-wear areas that are not routinely captured in a standard test. The chain and sprocket assembly should be examined for excessive stretch, corrosion, or misalignment, as prolonged inactivity can lead to seized components or premature wear. The battery should be tested for voltage and capacity, as underuse often results in sulphation. Tyre condition, despite not being flagged in the MOT, warrants scrutiny—especially the tread depth and lateral wear patterns, which could reveal past neglect or incorrect pressure history. Suspension components, including bushings and coil springs, should be checked for play or corrosion, as these are not always visible during a basic MOT but can compromise handling and safety. Finally, the exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or structural weakness, as low mileage does not preclude corrosion or damage from environmental exposure.
