2011 Ducati 1198 1.2L Petrol · PO11 FCL

The 2011 DUCATI 1198 demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with all five MOT tests from 2019 to 2024 recording no defects. The most recent test on 2024-01-24 at 13,871 miles confirmed compliance, indicating no immediate mechanical or structural concerns. The absence of advisories or failures across this period suggests consistent maintenance and minimal wear, aligning with the low annual mileage of approximately 925 miles. No recurring issues or escalating faults were noted, reinforcing the vehicle’s reliable condition. The mileage progression reveals a steady but minimal increase, with the bike accumulating just 155 miles between the 2022 and 2024 tests. This reflects prolonged inactivity or light usage, as the 15-year-old vehicle has covered only 13,871 miles total. The MOT records lack gaps beyond the two-year interval between 2022 and 2024, but the sparse data does not indicate rapid deterioration. The consistent pass marks suggest the previous owner prioritized basic upkeep, though the low usage may mask hidden issues related to storage or infrequent operation. A prospective buyer should inspect the bike’s battery, fluids, and tyres for age-related degradation, as prolonged inactivity can compromise these components. Check for corrosion in the frame and engine casing, particularly around welds or underbody areas, which may not appear in MOT records. Verify the suspension’s responsiveness and brake system’s integrity, as static conditions can lead to seized calipers or uneven disc wear. The absence of recorded faults is reassuring, but physical inspection remains critical to confirm the vehicle’sTrue mechanical state.
