2016 Ducati X Diavel 1.3L Petrol · SC16 VUT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test on 1 June 2026 at 17,429 miles resulted in a pass following a failure for a shortened clutch lever and a missing rear reflector. While these are minor presentation issues, the recurring nature of failures in previous years suggests that the owner only addresses faults once they prevent the vehicle from passing the MOT test. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,743 miles per year. Between the June 2024 test at 13,577 miles and the June 2025 test at 15,585 miles, the vehicle covered 2,008 miles. This low usage suggests the bike has spent significant time in storage. However, consistently low mileage on a machine of this age can lead to the degradation of rubber components, fluid acidity, and tyre deformation if not regularly exercised. A prospective buyer must closely inspect the front braking system, as the pads were flagged as being close to the minimum limit in both June 2024 and June 2025. The noisy exhaust noted in 2024 also indicates a potential heat leak or internal baffle issue that should be verified for structural integrity. Given the low mileage and age, the inspection should also check the age of the tyres for cracking and the condition of the fork seals, as these components often fail before the tread wears out on low-mileage vehicles.
