2002 Ducati 998R 1.0L Petrol · RG02 UEB

The most recent MOT on 25 March 2026 at 3,109 miles recorded a Pass with no defects, confirming that the motorcycle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance trend is stable across the last four annual tests. Across a 24‑year lifespan the recorded mileage totals just 3,109 miles, averaging roughly 130 miles per year. The log shows a six‑year gap between the 15 June 2017 test and the 27 May 2023 test, suggesting the bike may have been stored or off‑road for an extended period rather than accumulating mileage. Between 2023 and 2026 the mileage rose by only 98 miles, indicating very light use and no rapid accumulation that would accelerate wear on consumables or the drivetrain. A prospective buyer should focus on components that can deteriorate despite low mileage. Inspect tyre tread and sidewall condition for age‑related cracking, and verify that brake pads, discs, and calipers are free of corrosion or seized pistons. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for any loss of compliance, and check for surface rust on the frame and engine casings that can develop during prolonged storage. Confirm the battery holds charge, the fuel system is free of stale fuel residues, and that all wiring harnesses show no signs of insulation breakdown. A thorough visual and functional assessment of these areas will confirm whether the motorcycle’s low‑mileage history translates into a sound, road‑ready machine.
