2014 Ducati 1199 1.2L Petrol · NA14 XOZ

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 8,943 miles showed no defects or advisories. This trend suggests a maintenance regime where the motorcycle has remained in a high state of repair without the mechanical degradation or structural corrosion that typically triggers MOT failures over time. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old machine, averaging approximately 745 miles per year. Between October 2021 and October 2025, the vehicle covered only 437 miles, moving from 8,506 to 8,943 miles. This minimal usage indicates the bike has spent long periods in storage rather than undergoing regular use. While this limits wear on the engine, drivetrain, and pads, it introduces specific risks related to rubber-based components and fluid degradation due to static sitting. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of components affected by long-term standing rather than mechanical wear. The tester should check for dry rot or cracking on tyres, perished rubber hoses, and degraded seals, which occur regardless of low mileage. The braking system should be scrutinized for seized calipers or pitted brake discs caused by lack of friction to remove surface. Additionally, the engine oil should be inspected for moisture contamination or breakdown, as the low mileage does not account for the chemical aging of fluids over a decade.
