2016 Ducati Scrambler 0.8L Petrol · MK66 XEY

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass in July 2025 at 8,063 miles which returned no recorded defects. The overall maintenance trend appears consistent, as the motorcycle has successfully passed its annual inspections since 2020. The absence of failures in the latest test suggests that critical mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable parameters during the current period. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 800 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between June 2021 and August 2023, where the vehicle covered 3,127 miles, compared to the just 1,447 miles covered in the four years between 2020 and 2024. While this low annual mileage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often introduces risks associated with degradation of rubber components and fluid-related issues during long periods of standing. A buyer should specifically inspect the front tyre, as the August 2023 test at 5,837 miles flagged it as being worn close to the legal limit. While this was resolved by the 2025 test, it indicates that the tyres may be aged rather than worn out. Given the low usage, a physical inspection of sidewall cracking, perished fork seals, and hygroscopic brake fluid is essential, as these elements degrade regardless of mileage. The drive chain should also be checked for surface rust or seizing, which frequently occurs on vehicles that sit for long intervals.
