2014 Ducati 899 0.9L Petrol · OY64 HDV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in February 2023 at 6,144 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This trend suggests that the motorcycle has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal safety requirements without recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation during the recorded testing periods. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old machine, averaging approximately 512 miles per year. The data shows a significant gap between the May 2018 test at 4,455 miles and the July 2019 test at 5,319 miles, followed by a four-year interval before the next recorded mileage of 6,144 miles. While the low usage indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it also suggests the vehicle likely spent long periods stationary, which can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid chemistry. A buyer must focus on the effects of long-term storage rather than mileage-related wear. Inspection should prioritize the condition of the seals, perished tyres, and degraded brake lines, which age over time regardless of distance traveled. The tester should also check for corrosion on the fork sliders and brake discs, as stagnant vehicles are prone to surface-level rust. Since the last MOT was now over three years ago, a comprehensive mechanical inspection is required to ensure no new faults have developed since the February 2023 certification.
