2021 Ducati Multistrada V4S 1.2L Petrol · OY21 VDP

The Multistrada V4S presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, with its most recent MOT on 28 May 2025 at 22,784 miles passing cleanly with zero defects. That clean sheet is significant because it follows a 2024 test where the tester flagged a central front tyre worn to the 1.6 mm legal minimum. The owner clearly addressed that issue promptly, and the subsequent pass suggests attentive, ongoing upkeep rather than neglect. The mileage pattern tells a story of light, consistent use. Between the 2024 test at 21,919 miles and the 2025 test at 22,784 miles, the bike covered just 865 miles in roughly twelve months. Over its five-year life, the annual average sits at approximately 4,557 miles, well below typical touring expectations for this platform. Such low annual accumulation raises the possibility of extended periods standing, which can introduce its own concerns around stale fuel, dried seals, and surface corrosion on brake discs and suspension components despite the low recorded distance. The 2024 advisory on the front tyre tread depth is the only defect in the entire record, and it has since been resolved. No recurring mechanical or structural faults appear. That said, a low-mileage machine of this age warrants close physical inspection of items that deteriorate through age and inactivity rather than use. A buyer should examine the brake discs for pitting and corrosion, check the condition of all rubber seals and hoses for perishing, and verify that the suspension linkages and swinging arm pivot bearings are free of play despite the low mileage. The chain and sprockets deserve particular scrutiny, as infrequent use can lead to uneven wear and surface rust that MOT testing does not assess. Tyre date codes should be checked to confirm they are not aged beyond safe service life, even if tread depth appears adequate. The 2024 flag suggests the previous owner may have let consumables run close to the wire, so confirming the age and condition of the current rubber is prudent. Overall, the electronic record indicates a well-maintained machine with no persistent faults, but the low-use profile demands a thorough hands-on inspection focused on age-related deterioration rather than mileage-driven wear.
