2009 Ducati M696 + 0.7L Petrol · RB09 BEX

The 2025‑08‑18 MOT at 5,636 miles recorded a clean pass with no defects, confirming that the 2009 Ducati M696 + remains roadworthy as of that date. All subsequent tests since the 2021 inspection at 5,333 miles have also produced clean results, indicating a stable maintenance record with no evidence of worsening condition. The vehicle’s mileage of 5,636 miles over 17 years averages about 332 miles per year, reflecting light usage; however, the jump from 2,371 miles in April 2017 to 4,650 miles in June 2018 shows an increase of 2,279 miles in a single year, suggesting a period of more intensive use or extended standing periods before mileage growth slowed again. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear tyre condition and tread depth, verify the rear drive chain tension and wear, examine the rear brake calipers for binding, assess suspension bushes and coil springs for corrosion or wear, and check the exhaust system for excessive noise or structural damage; the recurring rear tyre wear close to the legal limit and the 2019 rear chain advisory point to potential neglect of consumable maintenance, while the absence of recent defects implies that any emerging issues are likely minor.
