2016 Ducati Scrambler 0.8L Petrol · MK66 XEX

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 1 June 2024 at 3,185 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, mirroring the results of the previous three inspections. This suggests the motorcycle has not been subjected to significant mechanical stress or structural degradation that would trigger a failure under testing conditions. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year vehicle, averaging approximately 318 miles per year. Between February 2022 and June 2024, the bike covered only 946 miles, indicating long periods of stationary or minimal use. The gap between the May 2020 test and the February 2022 test shows another interval where the vehicle sat for nearly two years. While low mileage limits wear on the drivetrain and brake pads, it increases the likelihood that rubber-based components may have degraded due to age rather than use. Given the low mileage and intervals between use, a physical inspection must focus on components affected by long-term storage. A buyer should check for cracking or brittleness in the fuel lines and brake hoses, which often perish regardless of low mileage. The tyres require inspection for flat spotting or dry rot, as the bike has sat for extended periods. Additionally, the brake calipers should be checked for seized pistons and the fork seals for leaking, as these are common issues when a motorcycle is not regularly exercised.
