2016 Ducati Diavel 1.2L Petrol · RE16 YUL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 29 May 2026 at 17,808 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward mechanical wear-related issues. While the bike maintained clean records through 2023 and 2024, the two most recent tests identified recurring and new advisories. This progression suggests that while the motorcycle is functional, certain components are beginning to show signs of age despite the low overall mileage. At ten years old, the recorded mileage of 17,808 miles is remarkably low, averaging approximately 1,781 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with a gap of 2,668 miles between April 2024 and April 2025, and another 724 miles covered in the final year between tests. Such low-frequency use often indicates the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods, which can lead to the degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluid integrity that is not always captured by mileage-based wear. A buyer must specifically inspect the nearside front shock absorber, which was flagged for a light misting of oil in April 2025. While this was not noted in the 2026 test, oil weeping indicates a failing seal that will eventually lead to total leakage. The recurring noisy exhaust advisory noted in both April 2025 and May 2026 warrants a close check for manifold leaks, loose brackets, or internal baffle damage that affects performance and noise. Given the low mileage, also examine the tyres for flat spots or dry rot resulting from infrequent use.
