2018 Ducati Multistrada 1260 S 1.3L Petrol · SB18 XKD

The 2018 Ducati Multistrada 1260 S presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 21 March 2026 at 12,318 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of five consecutive passes since 2022. The maintenance trend shows no deterioration and no advisories across the entire history. Recorded mileage stays low for an eight-year-old machine. The May 2022 test logged 6,065 miles, rising to 8,523 by June 2023, then 11,503 by June 2024. A marginal 37-mile increase appears at the 2 April 2025 test (11,540 miles), followed by 778 miles to the 2026 reading. Annual use averages roughly 1,540 miles, with the 2024 to 2025 period showing near-dormant storage. Sparse but consistent testing implies careful, infrequent use rather than neglected upkeep. No tester flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, calipers, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion at any interval. The absence of advisories means no recurring wear pattern exists to track. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of fork seals, final-drive wear, and tyre sidewall condition given long standing periods between rides. Low mileage and clean records suggest the previous owner deferred routine consumable replacement rather than skipped mechanical care. Verify brake fluid age, coolant condition, and battery health before purchase, as these degrade with inactivity regardless of test outcomes.
