2013 Ducati 899 0.9L Petrol · MJ63 PZW

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 2 June 2026, though its roadworthiness is severely restricted. While the machine passed its most recent inspection, the tester noted a complete absence of front and rear lighting, indicators, and brake lights. This indicates the motorcycle is currently configured exclusively for track or daylight-only use, rendering it illegal for standard road operation without significant remedial work to the electrical system. The maintenance trend is inconsistent, showing a transition from a clean pass in 2017 to a state where essential safety equipment has been intentionally removed. The recorded mileage of 8,547 miles over thirteen years equates to an average of approximately 657 miles per annum, confirming a pattern of very light usage. A significant gap exists in the MOT history between February 2017 and June 2026, a period of over nine years where the bike lacked an active test record. Such prolonged inactivity often leads to internal engine degradation, fuel system gumming, and the hardening of rubber seals or hoses. The low mileage does not necessarily equate to mechanical preservation, as the bike likely spent the majority of the last decade in storage. Prospective buyers must prioritize a comprehensive inspection of the electrical harness, as the current lack of lighting suggests either a stripped-down configuration or a fault that was bypassed rather than repaired. The 2016 failure, which cited a noisy exhaust, an incorrectly operating throttle, and an oil leak, highlights potential issues with engine maintenance and component wear that may have been ignored during the long period of inactivity. Inspect the engine casings for signs of weeping oil and verify the throttle response for any sticking or cable resistance. Ensure the braking system, which previously failed due to a missing switch, is fully functional and capable of activating the required stop lamps before attempting to return the machine to public road use.
