2014 Ducati Monster 1.2L Petrol · OU64 SYP

The vehicle is currently in an unroadworthy state following a failed inspection on June 1, 2026. While the motorcycle maintained a clean record for several years, the most recent result indicates a sharp decline in maintenance standards. The tester identified multiple critical failures, including a brake efficiency deficit, a front tyre reaching the legal wear limit, and a noisy exhaust system. This suggests that while the vehicle passed previously without defects, essential safety-critical components were neglected in the most recent interval. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 12-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,535 miles per year. Between April 2023 and June 2026, the bike covered only 1,443 miles, confirming a pattern of infrequent use or long periods of storage. This low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the engine and engine, suggesting it has seen minimal stress. However, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from issues such as dried fluid seals, degradation of rubber components, and tyre corrosion, which can manifest despite the low odometer reading. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system, as the roller brake test failed in both 2023 and 2026. The recurring failure regarding brake control efficiency suggests a persistent issue with the master cylinder or contaminated hydraulic fluid that has not been properly rectified. The recent noisy exhaust failure also requires a check for internal baffle damage or mounting bolts that have perished over time. Given the age and low usage, the buyer should also inspect for cracking in tyre sidewalls and perished rubber brake lines, as these parts age according to time rather than distance.
